[b]Dismissal Procedures [/b]

Please always notify the office in writing of any changes in your child’s way of getting home. If you 
have a last minute change, please contact the office and let us know. We appreciate a 30 minute 
heads up whenever possible. As you can imagine, dismissing 650+ students at the end of the day 
is quite a task.

[b]Kindergarteners[/b]– All kindergarten bus riders will be picked up from their classrooms by a safety patrol 
and escorted to the front hallway to wait for their buses to be called. They will wait with their assigned 
patrol. Walkers will be met outside near the kindergarten entrance. These students will be with their 
teachers and the teachers will release them to you.
Bus Riders - Students who ride a bus home will wait in their classrooms until their buses are called. We 
will call one or two buses at a time. We always give a first call, second call, and final call to students 
riding buses to ensure they do not miss the bus.

[b]Car Riders[/b] - When you pull up to the pickup lane, please give the staff members on duty your child’s 
name. All car riders will wait in the school until their car arrives. Staff on duty will walkie-talkie to 
another staff member and your child will be escorted to the car.

[b]Walkers[/b] –Walkers are dismissed just before the carpoolers and should exit the building immediately 
when they are called. Walkers are not to hang around with the car riders when they leave the building, as 
this sometimes confuses the staff on duty when walkers get mixed up with the car riders. If you or a 
sibling of a student is picking up a walker, please meet them at the kindergarten doors. Due to 
safety and security concerns and the protection of your children, we do not allow parents to enter 
the building at dismissal to pick up students.

No students should linger after school to visit with teachers and/or friends. We dismiss over 650
students daily in a short amount of time so it is important that students understand the procedures.

Thank you in advance for your support.[/quote]
