ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Morning Arrival:
- Just a reminder that our morning bell rings at 7:45 a.m.
- Starting Monday, August 22nd, students will be asked to walk into the building by themselves.
- Please make it a morning priority to have your child to school no later than 7:45 a.m. If a student arrives after 7:45, parents will need to walk their child to the office and sign them in for the day. In the event your child accumulates excessive tardies, a school official will be reaching out to assist you in developing a plan for arriving at school on time. This is an important skill for students to acquire at an early age.
Car Rider Arrival:
- Please do not let your students out of the car until the duty teacher walks out at 7:15 a.m.
Car Rider Dismissal:
- Students are dismissed beginning at 3:10 (M,T, Th, F) and 1:50 (W).
- Students are dismissed to the car rider dismissal area with a blue car tag. If you do not have your tag, you will be asked to park and wait until students are called outside at 3:25.
- If you are picking up a student in the car rider line, please stay in your car in the dismissal line and we will bring the student to you. If your student is not able to open/close the car door and buckle their seatbelt, please take time this weekend to practice.
- Please do not park and bring your tag to the covered walkway. This procedure was put in place to keep our students and their families safe. If you have any questions, please give Mrs. Simco or Mrs. Barron a call and we will be able to help you.
