ATTENDANCE POLICY
We encourage all parents to review the newly updated School Attendance Policy. This policy outlines guidelines regarding student absences, tardiness, and leave requests. By familiarizing yourselves with these guidelines, you can ensure your child's consistent attendance, which is vital for their academic success.
 
If you have further questions, please refer to the attendance FAQ.

After-school program
Athenaeum is our dedicated after-school care program that offers comprehensive supervision and engaging activities from dismissal until 6 pm, every school day. For further details, we invite you to explore more by clicking on this link.

MEAL INFORMATION
We are delighted to inform you that our meal service with SLA Management will continue this school year. An email has been sent to you containing your student's ID number and instructions for setting up their account on our new system, Titan. Please note that we will no longer be using MyMealTime for student lunch accounts (rest assured that all positive balances from the previous system have been successfully transferred to Titan). For additional information about meal options and the free and reduced lunch program, kindly visit this link.
 
* Please note that we will no longer be accepting food deliveries from outside services for students. If you wish to provide your student with food from a restaurant, kindly drop it off at the school personally.
 
(Breakfast will be served between 7:20am-7:45am daily)

Volunteer Background Check
If you're eager to become a volunteer on our campus, we welcome you with open arms! To get started, simply complete the volunteer background check. All volunteers must undergo this background check every school year.

School Hours
Full Day: 7:50 AM – 3:25 PM
Early Release: 7:50 AM – 1:35 PM

Carline
An email containing important carline instructions for the upcoming school year has been sent to all Invictus families. Please carefully review all instructions and refer to the attached map to ensure a smooth start on the first day. As we transition back, please extend your patience during the initial weeks, as carline procedures may take longer than usual. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to ensure a successful return.
