Morning Arrival begins at 7:30 am. Students who arrive between 7:30-7:55 am will have a chance to eat breakfast or relax in the gymnasium before class begins.

Dismissal happens at 3:00 pm each day. Students exit the building one at a time and meet their parent or guardian in the car line.

Aftercare runs each day at an additional cost from 3:00-5:30 pm.

At CPS, we believe that creating a comfortable learning environment for students and adults positions them for optimal engagement. This is especially important in early childhood and elementary school settings.

Students should wear clothing where they can fully participate in both seated learning activities and active indoor and outdoor play. Our children play outside in all weather and engage in hands-on indoor activities that can leave marks on clothing.

Students participate in an all-inclusive daily breakfast and lunch program. Students are provided a wide variety of nutritious options throughout the week through NDS. We encourage all students to participate in our food program but allow students to bring their own healthy lunch if desired. We do not serve pork or peanut products in the cafeteria.

Students are also provided a healthy snack each day that they eat in the classroom. They may not not bring their own snack unless they have a documented allergy.

You can find the lunch menu here.

Students, parents, and guardians are notified by text message, phone message, and email. Updates will also be posted on the website.

If your child will be in 1st through 5th grade next school year, you live more than 1.5 miles from CPS, and you would like them to take the bus in the morning and/or afternoon next school year, please contact Ms. Mary at m.small@cpsphilly.org.
