Arrival at School
There are only four approved ways for students to arrive to school and these are walking, riding the bus, SAS transportation, and car-rider drop-off. Parking in the school parking lot and walking students to class is not an approved means of routine arrival and is to be avoided between 8:00 and 8:30 AM.
For safety reasons, students walking or arriving by car to school should not arrive on the school grounds prior to the beginning of the school day. Students arriving before the designated time may be sent home.
Students are not supervised prior to the start of school, nor after school is dismissed. Parents are responsible for seeking alternate arrangements for their children before and after school. The school will not be responsible for students' care before or after school.
Leaving School During the Day - Sign Out Log
When a student has an appointment or will be leaving the school anytime during the school day, parents should send a note to the teacher so that they can be prepared to provide homework or other handouts for the child before leaving for the day.
Parents must also sign their child in if they return during the school day.
As a security precaution, whoever is collecting the child, whether parent or designated individual will be asked to show their ID card and a check will be made in the school database to ensure they are authorized to do so. If the person is not on the authorized pickup list, and they do not have written permission with them, the child will not be released.
Please Note: For the safety and security of ALL our students, written notification must be provided to the to the front office. If you need to pick up your child before dismissal time, please plan to pick them up by 2:30.
One hundred percent ID check is in effect at all times.
Dismissal
There are only four approved ways for students to depart from school and these are walking, riding the bus, SAS transportation, or car-rider pick-up. Parking in the school parking lot and walking into get students is not an approved dismissal process. The school parking lot will be closed for parking or departure from 3:00 - 3:30 PM each school day. Only the car-rider lanes will be open during this 30 minute timeframe.
All students who are picked up by car must have a car-rider number assigned by the front office and must use the car-rider pick-up lanes. Car-rider numbers can be obtained in the front office anytime between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM on school days.
Except in the rare case of an extreme emergency, students will not be dismissed from the office to parents for pick up after 2:30 PM (1:30 PM on Early Dismissal Days). Any such dismissal will have to be approved in advance by an administrator.
