Keep in Mind...
~Arrival/Dismissal is a very busy time for school staff. Please avoid having in depth conversations with teachers/staff at that time.
​
~Please make sure that your child's teacher sees you when picking your child up. We do not dismiss any child without making eye contact with the adult.
​
~Please try to be on time to pick up your child.
​
~Please do not crowd dismissal doors. All children will be dismissed in a timely manner.
​
~We only dismiss to adults listed on the Blue Emergency Card. It is important to keep any/all information on the card updated.
​
~Late students are brought to the Cafeteria. Please report to the Main Entrance to retrieve your child after dismissal doors close.
