In an effort to streamline afternoon dismissal, we want to make sure everyone gets home safely and on time, therefore our staff will be monitoring the bus lane to help every student head directly to their bus. Over the next few days, we will guide students through the process and help them learn the routine. However, please remember that starting on Monday, August 17th, a strict timeline goes into effect. Once all students have exited the building, they will have 60 seconds to board their bus. Once the bus drivers close their doors, they cannot reopen them, and any remaining students will be directed to the front office to call home for a ride.

Let’s work together to make our afternoon dismissal smooth, safe, and stress-free for everyone!
