Review the 22-23 bell schedule

The first day of school is Thursday, August 18, 2022.

Plan for the first day of school

• Start those bedtime routines a bit earlier in the days leading up to school, so that your child is well-rested.
• Laurel teachers (with the support of the Laurel PTO) provide all the necessary classroom supplies for every student.
• Decide how your child will commute to school and practice the trip before school starts. Click here for information.
• Please label all items. Things can get lost or misplaced easily.

Pack up and prepare

• Must wear shoes with backs (no flip flops or slides) please.
• Bring a large backpack big enough to fit an 8 1/2 x 11 folder;
• a snack to eat at morning recess; and
• lunch - either sign up for Hot Lunch in advance or send along a lunchbox/brown bag labeled with your child's name.

Know where to go

• At the Lower Campus (grades K-2),
• students in kindergarten assemble at the kindergarten playground.
• students in grades 1 & 2 play in the Main Yard.
• At the Upper Campus (grades 3-5), students play in the Main Yard.
• When the bell rings, students are to"Freeze, hands on knees!"
• Then the morning yard duty blows a whistle twice, and students go to their classrooms.

Parents are invited to Back-to-School Coffee on August 19th to catch up with friends, sign up to volunteer, and meet our After-School Program vendors, at Lower and Upper Campus, from 8:30 - 9:30 AM.
