TARDIES

Students who are not in their classroom at 8:00 a.m. are tardy. Students must be escorted by an adult to the office to sign-in.  Please write in the school log the reason for the tardiness.  If you have been to the doctor or dentist you must bring in a return to school form from the doctor or dentist to have the tardy marked as excused.

EARLY DISMISSAL

Should you need to get your child before the end of the school day, please use the following procedure:

 

1-Write a note to your child’s teacher indicating the reason for the early dismissal and the approximated time you will arrive for your child.

 

2-Upon arrival, come directly to the school office to sign the Dismissal Log, and we will call the child to the office.  This keeps classroom disruption to a minimum.  

We will not call children for early dismissal after 2:30 pm except in an emergency.

 

MORNING CAR RIDER LINE

To provide safety for students as they exit their car, we only operate 1 lane of traffic in the morning. A staff member will direct you when to stop and proceed through the line.

 

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

Students will be dismissed at 3:00 pm.  No child will be called for dismissal between 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm except in emergencies.

 

Students must bring a written note  or  a message can be sent through Class Dojo to your child’s teacher if they are not going home in their usual manner.  When the request involves bus transportation, the note must be brought to the office in the morning to get a bus pass to give to the bus driver.  Do not call the office on a daily basis to change a student’s way of going home. Call the office only if there is an emergency change in going home.  

 

AFTERNOON CAR RIDER LINE

Those picking up students will be directed to enter the car rider line creating 2 lanes and proceed to the pick up points.   As dictated by the Fire Marshall, there should be no parking in the pick up line before 2:30 p.m. This is a direct violation of the fire safety code. 

 

Our dismissal procedure is specifically designed for the safety of our children. Parents must adhere to the following:

• You must have a car tag to pick up your child in the car rider line. If you do not have a tag, you must park and come to the office and show a valid ID to sign the student out. If a designated person picks up your child/children, please be sure that they have a car tag. If they do not have a car tag, they must park, present a valid ID to check out the student through the office, and acquire a tag. This designated person must be on your child’s approved check-out list.
• When in the loading zone, you will be directed to shut off your engine.  When ALL engines have been shut off, the children will be called and dismissed to their respective cars.
• Please have your car tag visible while in the loading zone, and remove the tag once your child has entered the car.
• Remain in your vehicle while in the car line.
• A staff member will give you a signal when it is time to turn your engine on and proceed through the line.
•  This procedure will be repeated until all children have been loaded.  
• Parents will not be allowed to wait inside the building or park in the parking lot and walk over to pick up their child.

 

AFTERNOON BUS RIDERS

Each bus and van will be called individually and the teachers on duty will escort the children to their respective bus or van.
