Principal's Message...
Dear PDES Families,
The safety of our students is always our top priority and I would like to take a moment to review PDES dismissal procedures- if regular dismissal routines must be changed.
Change in Your Child's Dismissal Routine
If you will be changing your child’s regular dismissal routine, please contact your child's teacher or the main office.
If you need to make a change in a child's regular dismissal routine for the day, please send in a change of dismissal form (orange form). We have plenty of change of dismissal forms in our main office.
All notes/change of dismissal forms received by the classroom teacher will be sent to the Main Office, to the attention of our school secretaries. They will then create a daily dismissal bulletin that will be used by staff to ensure students are dismissed correctly.
Please note that we will not accept changes in dismissal routines through email. This practice is unsafe and will not be part of any dismissal protocols.
If you have not provided a note and must change the dismissal routine, please call the 401-360-1600 and an administrator will assist you.
We will begin using dismissal lanyards at parent pick-up, beginning Monday, February 24th. Please be sure to update authorized release information in Skyward. You may do this by:
1. Visiting our main office. Patti or Teresa will assist you.
2. Send in an updated list of authorized releases. Please sign and date.
3. Revise/Update authorized releases directly in Skyward and an administrator will approve.
**All those who are authorized to release students must show identification each and every time at dismissal.**
Wishing everyone a great week!
~Mrs. Komocar
