Dismissal:

Afternoon announcements begin at 3:35pm, before students are dismissed.

• The students who are dismissed as car riders assemble in the gym. There are 3-4 staff members on duty to ensure that each student reaches their appropriate parent/guardian/provider. Parents are to remain in the car at all times.
•  During dismissal, a staff member on outside duty informs the main office (via walkie talkie) of what buses have arrived. Once the hallways have cleared, each individual bus is called. Each student is permitted to exit the building through the main doors.
•  If there is a late bus those students are called to report to either the main lobby to wait in a quiet line or to the cafeteria to wait with 2-3 staff members until their bus arrives. Parents are asked to send in a note with any changes to their child’s afternoon routine. The goal is for all students to be dismissed from the school by 3:55 pm each and every day.

•  Each parent/guardian/adult picking up the student(s) is required to sign the student(s) out in the main office and exit through the main entrance of the school building.
•  No verbal authorization to remove a child from the premises will be accepted.
