PARENT AND STUDENT RESOURCES
Arrival & Departure
Students enter the building at 8:25 AM (during full and early-release half-days).
School starts at 8:35 AM.
The tardy bell rings at 8:40 AM.
School dismisses at 3:38 PM.
Half day dismissal is at 12:10 PM.
In the morning, second grade classes line up on the side where the buses pick up and drop off.
If your child is driven or walks to school, he should not arrive prior to 8:10 AM (even if they plan to have breakfast). There is no supervision outside before 8:10 AM. If a bus should arrive prior to that time due to various route times, the administration will see that the students are properly supervised.
If your child is a bus rider, we will assist in getting them on the correct bus at the end of the day, if needed. If your child walks to school, try to find someone for them to walk with so they never walk alone.
If students are picked up after school, always make sure that they know (before they come to school) who is picking them up and where they are going to meet them.
Parents are to wait outside the building for their child at the end of the day. Please make an effort to abide by these arrival and departure guidelines to help ensure the safety for the students.

Lunch Buddies
Lunch Buddies is a mentoring program where community members join an at-risk student for lunch at school one time per week. Lunch Buddies eat lunch, talk, play games, hang out, work on homework, or take walks around the playground.
This one hour per week could make all the difference in the world to a student. We provide training and pair you up with a student who needs a mentor.

Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS)
We have launched a new district-wide behavior and discipline program at Adrian Public Schools called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports or PBIS.
PRIDE is representative of five qualities we want our students to demonstrate on a daily basis. These qualities will be taught, reinforced, and recognized. They are:
- Productivity
- Respect
- Integrity
- Determination
- Excellence
