Children not taking bus transportation should not arrive at school before 8:45AM. Children should go directly home after school is dismissed. When other arrangements are made by the parents, a note of explanation must be sent to the child’s teacher.
Please drop off and pick-up students in the designated area or park in the visitor parking lot and walk your child in or from the building. If you arrive later than 9:00 AM, you must enter the building with your child and sign him/her in at the office.
If your child is going to be picked up early because of scheduled appointments, please send a note to school with information about the date, time, and person coming for the child.
**Pick up notes must be sent to school with your child on the day of pick up; otherwise, children will be sent home on their regular bus. Please bear in mind that the end of the day is very hectic, prior notice and a note will be needed.
When extreme weather conditions exist, schools may be closed, starting times delayed, and/or early dismissals may be necessary. The decision for closings and for late starts will be made and broadcast on radio station WAEB (AM 790) and on television – Channel 69, by 6:30AM. Early dismissals will be broadcast on these stations also. Please do not call the district or building administration.
Please make sure that the “Early Dismissal Emergency Plan” has been completed accurately and is on file at school so that we know how to dismiss your child if there is an early dismissal. School personnel will not be making phone calls.
You may log onto wfmz.com/stormcenter for dismissal information.
