Dismissal Procedures

We placed dismissal forms in each classroom teacher’s mailbox.  If you didn’t get one, please see Lissa in the main office. This form needs to be completed on Tuesday, September 3rd by 2:00 pm. We need all available staff to support next week for arrival and dismissal.

• At the end of the day, students will be dismissed as “bus riders,” “walkers,” or “car riders.”  Students participating in Extended Day will be picked-up by Extended Day staff at dismissal.
• Bus riders will be dismissed to the buses by bus number/color.
• Walkers

School staff will be placing bus color bands to the students’ backpacks as they get off the bus the first week of school.  Classroom teachers of younger students are expected to place a second band (confetti band) that identifies the students as being 1st grade or younger.  This will help bus drivers identify those students who should be escorted by an adult at the bus stop. If you need more confetti bands please let Lissa in the main office know.  Also, please know that students who come to your classroom in the morning with a bus tag doesn’t necessarily mean that they will go home by bus.  If you have questions about a student’s dismissal plan please call the parents.
