Arrival and Dismissal

Schedule

Students that arrive by bus will arrive at approximately 8:35am.
Students should not be dropped off for school before 8:35 AM; no student supervision is provided by the school before that time.
Students will remain in their vehicles in the drop off area until an adult comes to
their vehicle to let them out. This is done to protect all students and ensure
safety.
Early morning childcare is available through the Y-CARE program at each of the
Elementary Schools.. Contact the YMCA directly to set up this childcare.
Attendance is taken promptly at 8:45 AM in each classroom.
Students who arrive late, after 8:45 AM, must be signed in by an adult in the
office.

All students being picked up at the end of the school day will be escorted to their vehicles by an adult.
Any student being picked up by a parent must have a pick-up note, otherwise they will be sent home on their assigned bus. Please do not send a Talking Points message to your child’s teacher.
One note to the office and teacher is allowable for parent pick up IF it is for a specified period of time.
A note is required if there are changes.
Any student who is not picked up will be taken to the office in order to call parents/Guardians.

Parents who wish to have a student dismissed before 3:00pm should send a signed note to the office or come to the office to request an early dismissal.
Students will be dismissed from the office and will not be permitted to wait outside the building to be picked up.
Your child will be called to the office for dismissal upon your arrival.
Parents must come into the building to pick up a student.
After 3:00 pm, parents must wait for the student to be dismissed at the end of the school day. This protocol is necessary in order to minimize disruption to our office procedures at the end of the school day.

School buses are available to transport each student to and from school.

Students are not permitted to change buses for social reasons.
It is very important that the drivers are familiar with the students on their particular bus and with the routine stops the children use. For this reason, students may not ride a bus other than the one assigned, unless it is absolutely necessary.
Permission, for any changes, can only be arranged via a note to the principal & Director of Transportation.
Riding the school bus is a privilege. A student who does not respect the rights of others and endangers their life and the lives of others will be disciplined and may be suspended from riding for major or frequent discipline infractions.
