School Hours
To ensure the safety and health of all members of the Sprague community, please do not bring any pets to school during arrival and dismissal times.
With the exception of some bus students who may arrive early, students should not arrive at school without adult supervision before 8:15 AM, as there is no staff supervision available prior to that time.
Learn more about drop-off and pick-up here.
Change of Dismissal Plans
New for 2022-2023 School Year!
To help us better manage student dismissal changes, Sprague is now using PickUp Patrol.
PickUp Patrol saves administrative time and reduces interruptions in our classrooms, while still giving you the flexibility you need to make changes to your children’s plans. Most importantly, it helps Sprague get your children safely to their correct after-school destinations!
Learn more on the Sprague WPS site.
