DAILY OPERATION

 

SCHOOL DAY; Our school day begins at 8:25. Children not riding buses should arrive at school no earlier than 8:00 and no later than 8:25. Students arriving in the classroom after 8:25 will be counted tardy for attendance purposes. Our school day ends at 3:25. At this time we dismiss car riders to the front entrance of the building. Bus riders will be dismissed as the buses arrive.

 

DELIVERY AND PICK-UP: Parents delivering and picking up children are requested to use the driveway directly in front of the building. WE ASK THAT YOU NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN THIS AREA. Children are not to be dropped off or picked up at the side or rear of the building. Students will not be dismissed after 3:00 P.M. due to confusion this causes in the car pick-up procedures. For protection of all students, dismissal and entry will only be allowed through the front doors.

 

BEFORE / AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM: The school will be operating a Before / After School Age Child Care program. This is offered to children of working parents. Students arriving before 8:00 A.M. and remaining after 3:50 P.M. will need to be enrolled in this program. A pamphlet on this program is available in the school office for interested parents.

 

BREAKFAST PROGRAM: Breakfast is available for those students arriving before 8:15 A.M.

 

DISMISSALS: If a student is to leave school during the school day, the parent is to come to the school office to sign the dismissal log stating time and reason for the dismissal. The office staff will have the student sent to the office. Parents should not go to the classroom to pick up the student. If someone other than the parent is to pick up the child, it is required that the parent contact the school in advance. We will not release the child to unauthorized persons. Dismissals will not be made during the last 15 minutes of the day.

 

AFTER SCHOOL: Students are required to go directly home after school unless the student is involved in a school approved activity. Students need to bring a note from home if they are not going home in their usual manner. When the request involves bus transportation, the note must be signed by the principal or teacher and delivered to the bus driver by the child. The school phone is not available during the day or after school to make arrangements by the student to go home with another person.

 

PLEASE LIMIT CALLS OF CHANGING STUDENTS’ DESTINATIONS OR PERSON(S) PICKING THEM UP TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE SHOULD BE NO LATER THAN 2:25 P.M.
