Students may not enter the building prior to 8:00 unless they have ordered breakfast or are paying for before care.
Due to safety reasons please do not enter the parking lot to drop off or pick up your student. You can use the sunny circle, income support or park along Cutler in the afternoon or morning. Elementary students are to be picked up in the sunny circle. Please do not pull them out of line. This is due to supervision requirements.
We have limited staff and a small cafeteria so please do not send lunches that need to be heated up. Students can get an APS free hot lunch.
Last, there are no classes this Friday. August 22nd It is a teacher in-service. For your information the school calendar is on the website. http://21stcenturypa.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/School-Calendar-2025-2026-Parent-View-1.pdf
Thank you and let’s have a great year!
Day 1 Dropoff Procedures
/in Admin /by 21stadminDragon Families, we look forward to seeing you on Monday for the first day of school. Below is information regarding our pick up and drop off procedures along with an attached map.
Daily Pickup/Drop Off Procedure:
We ask that in the mornings, parents please do not drive into the school’s parking lot to drop your students off. It is a safety and traffic concern. Instead, please approach the school heading east along Cutler and turn right onto Dragon Lane, then enter the roundabout. That is where pickup and dropoff will take place. When departing, follow Dragon Lane back out to Cutler and turn right to leave. Please do not attempt to turn LEFT from Cutler into Dragon Lane. Refer to the attached map.
Day 1 Drop Off:
On the first day of school, elementary students can bring any school supplies to their designated Educational Assistant who will be standing outside near the entrance to the school with grade level carts. From there, elementary students will be directed to their appropriate waiting area to be escorted into the building. Parents are not permitted to enter the building at this time, so please make sure to say your farewells outside. Middle school students will enter as normal and go directly to their homeroom. If they do not know where their homeroom is, they are to enter the front entrance and we will direct them to the proper location to start the day.
Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria starting on the first day. Any student who wants a breakfast may enter the building starting at 7:45 where they will be directed to the cafeteria to eat.
Before and Aftercare will begin on Monday. Before Care starts at 6:30 AM.
We hope you all have a wonderful last weekend of summer, it’s going to be a great school year!
