School Hug n' Go and Staff Parking Lot

Please note that the parking lot is not available for visitor/volunteer/parent parking. For safety reasons, DO NOT use the staff parking lot to drop-off or pick-up children. The parking lot is only accessible to CBE employees as staff members pay for the privilege of accessing assigned parking, and they arrive at various times throughout the day. 

There are two lanes, one for short term stopping for drop off and one to drive through and/or pass by stopped cars. Please note that all families using the Hug n' Go drive through are asked to be respectful during both drive through and stopping. This is NOT an area for long time parking. Parking for student drop off and pick up will be available before school start and before school dismissal along Mahogany Way SE.

Lunch Supervision 

Mahogany School offers a four-day (Monday – Thursday) noon supervision program for students in Grades 1-4 from 11:50am-12:28pm. Students bring their own lunches and are supervised both while they eat lunch and while they play outside. No microwave or hot water services are available. Registration and fee payment for this program is required. Noon Supervision begins on the first day of school. 

Registrations are submitted online using MyCBE.

Assigned Teachers 

Grade 1-5 students, your child's teacher will contact you on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. At this time, teachers will also share more specific information about their assigned morning meeting spot where they will meet their teacher on the first day of school. Please be patient when waiting for their email. We will have a flexible entry for all students in grades 1-5 next year and they will be able to use any entrance door beginning at 7:45am each day. Kindergarten will have a designated entrance door, the main office entrance, and will meet their teachers outside on the front entrance way on the first day of school.
