Over the last couple of months, we have been reviewing our dismissal procedures in an effort to be efficient, keep students safe, and work withing the contractual time of our staff members. We will be making some changes starting Tuesday and we need your help, please.
Changes in Dismissal
We strongly discourage changes in dismissal plans. It requires several steps in communication to be sure everyone is in the know for one child and we have 334 students to account for. If you have an emergency and must call the office to change your child's plan, please do so by 11:00am.
Car Pick-up- everyone should read in case you need to use car pick-up at some point
Every day, please put a placard with at least your child's name on your driver's side dashboard. Below is a template for one, but honestly, it can be the name written on the back of an envelope...it will make the car line run more quickly and efficiently if Mr. Baum can just walk down the line and read off names. If you do not have your child's name up, Mr. Baum will be asking you to loop back around.
Buses
We are changing how students are dismissed from their class to line up for the bus starting Tuesday, 12/10. I will gather bus students on the big stairs to review the changes. During that time, I will review behavior expectations for while they wait to load as well as behavior expectations on the bus. While we adjust to the new practice, buses may be delayed by a few minutes. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Walkers will continue to be dismissed from the same cafeteria door.
Thank you for your partnership in helping school procedures to be efficient, safe, and operating within staff contracts.
