Reminder: End of Day Pick Up Procedures
For those that have signed up for the Gym Walk-Up Dismissal, you are requested to abide by the following rules to ensure the safety of all students:
- You must remain in your car until 3:05 PM.
- At 3:10 PM, adults picking up students are to line up on the sidewalk underneath the gym overhang to the gym doors. There will be no need to enter the school.
- When you get to the gym door, please present your placard to pick up your student(s).
- Students WILL NOT be released unless a placard is presented. This is for the safety of the students as, at any given time, there may be a substitute or a staff member on duty that is not familiar with you.
- Once the staff member sees your placard, he or she will dismiss your student(s) to you.
If you are part of the Gym Walk-Up Dismissal, and on occasion, or if an emergency situation occurs, where you cannot pick up your student and need to have someone on your emergency contact list pick up your student, then please refer to the steps below.
- Arrive no later than 3:05 PM and have your ID ready for verification
- Locate the clipboard placed in vestibule
- Write your name and the student(s) name you are picking up
- Please do not ring the buzzer, as a staff member will get the clipboard by 3:09
- Please wait outside the front of the school until your student(s) is released (a staff member will walk the students out to you to ensure students go with the correct adult)
If you are not part of either Permanent Pick-Up or Gym Walk-Up dismissal programs but still need to pick up your child at the end of the day, then you will need to do the following:
- Arrive no later than 3:05 PM and have your ID ready for verification
- Locate the clipboard placed in vestibule
- Write your name and the student(s) name you are picking up
- Please do not ring the buzzer, as a staff member will get the clipboard by 3:09
- Please wait outside the front of the school until your student(s) is released (a staff member will walk the students out to you to ensure students go with the correct adult)
Additional staff members will be made available for some time to ensure our younger students get to the newly assigned locations for parent pick-ups.
Any parent/guardian picking up student(s) are asked not to park along the driveway, in front of the school, or in the YMCA lot.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience, which is for the safety of all students.
