Arrival
School starts promptly at 7:50 a.m. Students may begin entering the building at 7:15 a.m.
Tardiness
Students who are not in their classroom at 7:50 a.m. are officially TARDY. After 7:50 a.m.,
parents/guardians must accompany their child to the office to sign them in as tardy. If a habit of
tardiness develops, school personnel will help parents create a solution to change the habit.
Dismissal
Students are dismissed at 2:15 p.m. in the following order:
ASP / Day Care / Bus Riders / After School Clubs
Car Riders: Please do not park your car and walk across the traffic to pick up your child. If
everyone stays in the traffic lane, dismissal will be quick, orderly, and safe. If your child is not
picked up by 2:45 p.m. from car dismissal, he/she will be sent to the After School Program at a
cost of $7.00 per day.
Please be mindful of our 2:15 p.m. dismissal time. We are very busy during this time of day
ensuring that each and every one of our students is safely on their way home or to their after
school destination. If your child must leave before the end of the school day, please arrive
before 1:45 p.m. as we will not call students for dismissal after that time.
Change of Dismissal
If you need to change your child’s way of getting home after school, please send a note to the
teacher with your child. Please be mindful that we are not able to change students to ride the
bus home over the phone. Parents will need to come into the school to request this change.
Students should ride a different bus home for child care purposes only. Our buses have limited
space on their vehicles.
All changes of dismissal need to be made before 1:45 p.m. each day. Do NOT email your
child’s teacher with transportation changes. Teachers are busy with instruction during the day and
may not see your email until after school. We will only take verbal changes, if the student is
going to ASP. This is to ensure the safety of every child.
