Any AM K, Full day K, 1^st or 2^nd grade child who arrives at school after 8:40 a.m. is considered tardy for school.  Any PM K child who arrives after 12:30pm is considered tardy for school.  When a child is late they must be accompanied into our school by an adult who must sign them in.  Students arriving late will use the front entrance.

This program begins the first day of school.  Students may be dropped off for the breakfast program as early as 8:10am and they should report to the cafeteria.  Students who ride the bus or students who are dropped off may also eat breakfast before they attend homeroom.  The cost for breakfast is currently $1.45.

We collect items that fund materials and programs for our students. We are also a participating school with the Boyer’s Market and collect Redner’s receipts and Box Tops.  Please recycle your paper by utilizing our paper recycling bins in front of our school.  All of these programs provide us with funding to support our school community. 

We ask that you inform us of any changes in custody arrangements or living arrangements as soon as they occur.  Your child’s well being is our priority and having current information is essential to this cause.  Please realize we will follow the most current order we have on file so it is extremely important to update us with any changes.

Please make a note!  All scheduled early dismissals are 11:25 for bus students and 11:15 for students who will be picked up by their parents.  Early dismissal days are indicated on the Daniel Boone Area School District Calendar. 

We operate on a five day rotating cycle at DBAPC that may not correlate with the days of the week. This means each day, full day kindergarten, 1^st and 2^nd grade students participate in an encore subject: Library, Computer, Art, Music or Physical Education.  Half day kindergarten students will have one physical education class per 5 day cycle.

In an effort to balance out the number of instructional days for both AM and PM Kindergarten students, we have created a calendar of kindergarten switch days. This information can be found by clicking here. 

Please mark your child’s name on his/her lunch bag, coats, hats, etc with permanent marker. 

The price of an elementary student lunch is currently $2.60. Menus may be accessed on our website.  You can deposit money into your child’s lunch account through the Lunch Pre Pay program, which can be accessed through the district website.  You can also send a personal check in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and PIN number or teacher’s name to school for deposit into their account (Checks are recommended instead of cash).  Packed lunches must be readily consumable, as we are not able to heat food brought from home. 

We ask that you inform our nurse, Mrs. Guillama, of any changes in medical information at 610-385-6804*.  It is important to keep us informed of any changes so we are able to monitor the safety and well being of all of our students and staff members. *Please note: Please do not use this phone line for routine absences. The absentee line is listed above-610-385-6800, ext. 307. 

Please inform us of address and home or cell telephone number changes.  Please inform us when an employer name and/or employer phone number changes.  In case of emergency, we need to know how to contact you throughout the school day.  In order for the Connect Ed System to benefit your family to its fullest, you will need to keep your information current and updated.

We are a peanut and egg safe school.  Therefore, we have a snack procedure that requires parents to send in an individually wrapped peanut and egg safe snack (with ingredients listed for teacher review) if your child is eating a snack in the classroom.  We have a controlled environment in our cafeteria that does, however, allow children to bring peanut and egg products for lunch.  More detailed information will be shared at the start of school. 

The Daniel Boone Area Primary Center school day is 8:40 AM until 3:10 PM.  Drop off time for AM K, Full day K, 1^st and 2^nd grade students being driven to school is between 8:25 and 8:40 PM in the circle to the right of the school.  Drop off time for PM kindergarten students begins at 12:15 PM and is held at the front of the school. The official start of PM kindergarten is 12:30 PM. 

If your child will be picked up at the end of the day, you will need to send a note that morning to inform us of the name of the adult who will sign them out.  We ask that you notify us of any changes to your child’s dismissal plan BEFORE 2:30 PM.  An official form of identification is required at pick up.  Pick up time is 3:05 PM.  If you will pick up your child on a daily basis, you may write one note for the entire year indicating the names of the people who may sign them out. 

Kindergarten hours are the following: AM Kindergarten begins with the start of school at 8:40 and ends at 11:15 PM.  Parent pick up for morning kindergarten will take place in the side lobby by the circular parking lot at 11:15 PM.  PM Kindergarten will begin at 12:30 PM.  If you are dropping your child off for PM kindergarten, you may do so between 12:15-12:30 PM.  PM Kindergarten dismisses at 3:10 PM, along with the other grade levels at DBAPC. Our offices close at 4:30 PM.

Your child will need a book bag or back pack (without wheels) for carrying their school work back and forth.  Sneakers will be needed for Physical Education class.  A lunch bag will be needed if your child will pack lunch.  Everything else will be provided by the school.

Each student at DBAPC will have a Tuesday folder.  Tuesday folders contain important information for your review.  Please return empty envelopes on Wednesday.
