Do you need Bus Transportation?
Does your child need a bus for the upcoming school year? Transportation is working on creating bus routes for parents who requested by the deadline of 8/18/23. During Open House you will have another opportunity to sign up for the bus as well.
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival
The first day of school, students will not be allowed to be walked to class by a parent. This will need to be practiced on Open House Night 8/22. Please let your teacher know which mode of transportation you would like your student to use during dismissal.
Students can be dropped off in carline from 7:20-7:55am. Breakfast will be served from 7:20-7:55am. After 7:55am, all breakfast will stop being served and cleaned up and instruction will begin promptly at 8am. Students are not to bring outside breakfast after 7:55am. At 7:55am the carline will end and students will need to be dropped off and signed in at the Main Office. The drop off in front of the school is for buses and self-contained EC students only. All car riders must be dropped off and picked up in the carline only at arrival and dismissal times.
Dismissal
Early checkouts will end at 2:30pm to prepare for dismissal. Whole school dismissal will begin at 3:00-3:25pm. We will not check out students between 2:30-3:00pm. Please check your student out before 2:30pm if they have to check out early. Driver's license must be present when checking out a student.
PIKMYKID Dismissal Application
In our ongoing efforts to enhance your children’s safety, we have decided to begin using the PikMyKid Dismissal Application. Throughout the country, it has been proven to simplify dismissal, reduce traffic congestion, and most importantly, improve overall safety.
The unique features of PikMyKid allow you, as parents, to easily change pick up modes, quickly delegate to an alternate individual for pickup, change to an ‘After School’ program, and even schedule for future pickup mode, pickup individual, and after school programs. This app allows you to be in full control of your child’s dismissal and it gives us, the school, complete information regarding dismissal and the ability to acknowledge every change and to instantly check your child’s dismissal status should you have a question. We are very excited about this addition and know you will be too.
Check your emails over the next week for additional information and we will be on our way to a safer, quicker, and more efficient dismissal process. To Learn a little more on your own, please check out the following link that will show you a few of the PikMyKid features. https://www.pikmykid.com/features/forparents
Attendance
Good attendance is necessary to obtain academic excellence. Students and their parents must accept responsibility for regular school attendance. State law requires all pupils under the age of sixteen to be in school each day it is in session. Students absent for a whole day must bring a note signed by the parent explaining the reason for the absence. This note should not be written in the agenda. An excused absence is illness, death in the immediate family, religious holidays, doctor or dentist appointment, trips approved in advance through the office and any other absence considered necessary or beneficial by the administration. Missing the bus and truancy are two examples of reasons for an unexcused absence. Making up missed schoolwork is the responsibility of the student. The student must see the teacher(s) for missed assignments. The teacher will work with him/her in setting up a timetable to submit the missed assignments. If not submitted, missed assignments will be reflected in his/her grades.
Early check outs and late check ins will be charted and monitored due to missing student instruction. Habitually late check ins and early check out students will be provided with an attendance contract and possible retention if this behavior continues to occur.
