Whitnall AFS is looking for any families in the district who might be interested in hosting an exchange student for this school year. It is a rewarding experience for both the host family and the exchange student. Not sure about committing for the entire school year? Consider being a Welcome Family for a few weeks for a student until s/he is placed in a longterm family. If interested, please contact Sara Brand at

What Time Does School Start?
|
Please ensure that your child arrives to school by 8:35 AM. Supervision begins on the west playground at 8:20 AM on days without rain or temperatures below 0 degrees. Please don’t drop students off in the parking lot before you see the HCE staff on duty. Starting school on time helps the child transition into their school day with ease. If you arrive after 8:40 AM, you must come to the Godsell Avenue entrance and bring your child inside to sign them in. Students are marked tardy if they arrive at 8:40 AM or later.
|
|
Please follow the car drop off / pick up procedure linked
HERE
to keep all children safe. Entering the parking lot off of Janesville Road and proceeding in one of the two lanes takes you to the gate. Follow the directions of the staff member to move to the Safety Sidewalk. Children should enter or exit the car at the passenger side. While the line may look long, this area will clear within 15 minutes from the start of the school day or at dismissal. The Godsell Avenue (north) side of HCE is where buses, daycare vans, and those with handicapped placards drop students off. If you want to bring your child to the north side of the school, you must park or drop off in a legal area. Double parking or using our neighbors driveways is illegal.
Students who are dropped off should assemble on the WEST playground. Early Childhood and K4 assemble in the gym lobby (glass doors). Grades K5 and 2 enter DOOR 10. Grades 1, 3, 4, 5 enter DOOR 12.
