Dismissal

At 2:40 p.m., students are dismissed from school. Classroom teachers walk students to designated assembly areas. This includes school sponsored afterschool activities, School Age Center (SAC), walkers, parent pick-up and busses. Parents are requested to wait for their child(ren) outside the building in the parent pick-up area beside the flag poles. To ensure student safety, the classroom teachers will handoff your child after making eye contact. Arrangements for transportation must be communicated in writing to the classroom teacher. For the safety of our students, students cannot be released to individuals not listed as local emergency contacts for the student without explicit, written authorization. The person designated must bring photo identification for confirmation. Changes in bus transportation must be approved and coordinated though the school bus office.

Changes in Dismissal Routine

If there is an unexpected change in your child’s normal dismissal routine, please inform the front office and the classroom teacher prior to 2:00 p.m.
