REVISION of ARRIVAL & Dismissal Procedures for MONTESSORI Elementary Students (K-3)
Morning Arrival - ALL Montessori Elementary students will enter through the Canopy Door and make their way to their classrooms where teachers will be waiting to greet them. The door opens at 8:40 a.m.
End of the Day Dismissal - Mrs. Orr and Mrs. Rinoldo-Hopkins will dismiss students from the Canopy Drop-Off area. They will walk with students outside and gather together in the pick-up area. If you are picking up your student before 3:40 p.m. please do so from the office.
Mrs. Hartke and Ms. Rodriguez' classes will dismiss from the Library with the other kindergarten classrooms.
ONLY Ms. Stinson's Pre-K classroom will continue to use the door next to her classroom for arrival and pick-up in GSRP.
STUDENTS WILL NOT BE DISMISSED FROM THE HALLWAY AREA OR OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMS. STUDENTS MUST BE PICKED UP OUTSIDE OF THE CANOPY.
Thank you for your help as we make this change.
