Cheltenham Elementary doors open at 7:20 a.m., even in cases of inclement weather. We are unable to provide safe coverage for students before this time. In the case of inclement weather at arrival, we will open the doors at 7:20 a.m. and have students move to the cafeteria until 7:25 a.m., when classrooms will open. Students will grab breakfast on the way to class. In the case of inclement weather at dismissal, we reserve the need to 'hold' students in the building in the case of unsafe weather conditions. In other cases, please go to your students' regular pick-up location. Teachers will dismiss students individually from the building door when they see students' caregivers.
