Drop Off & Dismissal Procedures
Back to School 2020-2021
Attention Parents
If there is a change in your child’s dismissal plan or you need to send an excuse for their absence please email Mrs. Granchelli at granchellir@desalescatholicschool.org, surdeld@desalescatholicschool.org and their child’s teacher. We are trying to cut down on the paper communication between home and school. Thank you.
Entering School/Drop-Off
Entrances
To reduce congestion, there will be four ways for students to enter the school building.
- All students riding the bus will enter at the front door near the preschool playground.
- K- 3rd grade students being dropped off will enter at the main door.
- Grades 4 & 5 students being dropped off will enter at the Gym Entrance door.
- Middle School students being dropped off will enter at the door at the top of the hill.
Students may not enter the building prior to 8:00 a.m. unless they have registered for the Before School program.
Parents/Caregivers will not be allowed to walk their K-8 children into the building or to their locker in order to alleviate congestion.
