Morning procedures for the Walnut students in grades K-12.
Please try your best to not bring children to school until 7:15 am. If that is beyond your control, students will have to wait outdoors at the front door and be unsupervised.
ALL CAR DROP OFFS need to use the south parking lot. Jr. High and High school students will walk along the outside of the building and wait in the fire lane until it is time to load the bus. They will stay outdoors unless it is raining or the “feel like” temperature is below 20 degrees.
Students in grades K-5th will report to the gym and sit in their assigned spot. Breakfast is served at 7:30. It is recommended to drop your child off at 7:40 if they eat breakfast and 7:45 if they do not eat breakfast.


We had some cadets come in and successfully complete boot camp. This crew is Kindergarten ready.







Thanks to this crew our building is looking fantastic! They also spread some fresh new rock on the playground.
