Daily Schedule
This is the third year of Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) at Jarrettsville Elementary Topiary School. Much of our kindergarten curriculum revolves around the seasonal changes in trees, and the natural cycles and patterns that create these changes. We will enhance our curriculum study with a May field trip to Ladew Topiary Gardens. We invite you to join us during our visit to this beautiful outdoor classroom and local treasure.

Please send a note to school if you wish to pick up your child at the close of school on any given day. For the safety of the children, you must report to the office by 3:20, show proper identification, and sign a form. An announcement is made for “Car Riders” to dismiss to the school lobby at 3:25. We ask that you connect with your child/children and exit the building in a timely fashion, as announcements for grade level dismissals begin at 3:30.
