Beginning of School Day
The normal arrival time to school should be five
minutes prior to the beginning of the school day.
Students should wait quietly outside the correct
entry door. For safety reasons, it is imperative
that children do not arrive early to school. Supervision
of the outside of the building begins at 8:20
AM. On inclement weather days, the school doors
will open at 8:20 AM and students should assemble
in the All Purpose Room at Tatem and the classrooms
at Central and Haddon.
End of School Day
Students are expected to go directly home at the
end of the school day and not return to play on
the school grounds until after 3:30 PM. Most of
the students should arrive at their destination
within fifteen to twenty minutes of dismissal.
If your child has not arrived home within the
correct timeframe, please call your child’s
elementary school immediately. No child will be
kept after school more than five (5) minutes without
the parent’s permission. This permission
will be obtained by a staff member either over
the phone or through written correspondence. For
insurance reasons, students may not return to
the school playground until after 3:30 PM or one
half hour after school closes.
Six Day Schedule
All of the Haddonfield District elementary schools
and the Middle School follow a six day schedule.
The six day schedule identifies each day by number,
that is day 1, day 2, rather than by the day of
the week name. The six day schedule is listed
in the Community Calendar. All Haddonfield residents
should have received this calendar prior to the
start of the school year.
Half Day Schedule
On half days, grades 1-5 attend from 8:25am -
12:30pm. AM Kindergarten attends from 8:25am -
10:55am. PM Kindergarten attends from 10:00am
- 12:30pm. Lunch is not served on half days.
Lunch Time
Students may eat their lunch either in
the cafeteria or at home. For safety reasons,
the school must be informed, either by phone or
in writing, when your child will be going home
for lunch. Students who go home for lunch must
leave the school grounds immediately at lunch/recess
dismissal; otherwise, children are to remain at
school for lunch. Students are not permitted to
go to downtown Haddonfield unless accompanied
by a parent. Lunch may either be brought to school
or students may purchase a lunch at school. The
lunch menus are sent home at the beginning of
each month.
