Carpenter’s School Hours

What are Carpenter's School Arrival and Dismissal Times?

Mornings are an important time at Carpenter, and your child's morning very often sets the tone for his or her entire day. You can get your child's day off to a great start by getting up in plenty of time to be organized and on time for the school day.
