How Are You Going Home?!

Dismissal: We have two major forms of afternoon transportation. They are: Car Pick-up, Bus/Van Pick-Up. Hopefully, the following will eliminate any misunderstanding between them.

ANY change in your child’s daily dismissal transportation MUST be communicated through the Purple Folder! You may write on the Daily Communication calendar page that should remain in your child's purple folder. PLEASE write the DATE that you are writing the change AS WELL as the DATE you want the change to occur. PLEASE don't write- "Susan will be car parent pick up tomorrow." Please do write- "July 17- Susan will be car parent pick up on July 18". In an emergency situation it is permissible to call the office- but for daily changes parents must communicate via the Purple Folder. Thank you for helping us keep your little one safe and anxiety-free about dismissal! If your child is attending Codington's Afterschool Program, they will be directed where to go by staff and supervised to their destination.

CAR PICK UP

If you choose to use car pick up, you will stay IN YOUR CAR and wait in the line of cars outside the front of our school. The children will be escorted out of the building and brought to your car. You received a card at Open House in your manilla folder which includes your child's name. Please write on the card the name/s of the people permitted to pick-up your child. This card must be placed in the front window of your vehicle when you come to pick up your child. Your child will wait in the classroom until their name is called. Please remain in your vehicle while you are waiting for your child. If you do not have the card from the school with your child's name, ID will be checked before releasing a child. (This will take time and delay the dismissal process.)

BUS/VAN PICK UP

We recommend that you send your child to and from school on the bus. The children will be supervised by staff as they board the bus each day. If your child rides a day-care van, the children will wait in the cafeteria and be supervised by staff until their van is dismissed. They will be escorted to the van by staff.
