Dismissal Procedures

  • If your child needs to be picked up early or there is a change in the way your child is sent home, written communication needs to be sent that morning to the teacher or office. Otherwise, your child will be sent home their normal way.
  • If you need to pick up your child early, please plan on arriving to the school no later than 2:30 pm. Students will not be released after 2:30 pm from the front office. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
  • Students will only be released to an adult with a valid driver’s license who is either a parent, guardian or designated as an authorized adult on the student's emergency card. This is done as a security measure. 
  • If the office does not have written communication by 2:30 pm, no changes will be made to the child’s dismissal.   
  • Cooperation in this matter will foster a learning environment with limited disruptions for all children.
