Lunch is an important time of the day for our 3rd graders, they refuel their bodies and energize their minds. We kindly ask you discuss your expectations with your students when it comes to them eating lunch. For example, do you prefer they eat their sandwich then snack items? What should they do if the cafeteria has an unexpected menu change and they don’t like it? Can they purchase snacks to supplement their meal?
Did you know that on schoolcafe.com, the same website you set up their lunch accounts, you can customize what they can purchase? In your students profile, click on details, then purchase restrictions. Once there, you can select the days your student is allowed to purchase extra snacks, set limits on what they are allowed to purchase, and how much they are allowed to spend.
With over 100 students to supervise at lunch, we appreciate your understanding that students are responsible for following your families guidelines in regards to their healthy lunch choices.

3rd Grade Dismissal Procedures
3rd Grade Dismissal Procedures
Car riders
3rd Grade Car Riders will be held in the foyer until their car tag and color is called. Students will then exit the building through the front doors and will head to the respective color square to be loaded by a staff member. Students will only be released to those in vehicles with visible car tags. Both lanes will be utilized for loading. Please stay in your cars.
Bus Riders and Daycare
Bus riders and daycare students will be escorted to the gym and bus circle area at 2:55 pm. Students may not ride home on the bus unless they are registered for bus transportation. In addition, students are only permitted to ride the bus to which they have registered.
Walkers, Bike Riders and Extended Day
ESD students will be escorted to the cafeteria at 3:00 pm. Walkers will be escorted to the back playground doors and dismissed at 3:00. Supervised walkers meeting with Parents or guardians of supervised walkers must show their car tag to the staff members on duty before their student is released. All walking students will walk along the sidewalks around the school to the Providence Village subdivision. We encourage siblings who are walking home together as unsupervised walkers choose a meeting spot right outside the doors - like at the rock wall.
Bike riders will be dismissed at 3:00 through the doors next to the library. Bike riders will also walk their bikes along the sidewalks around the school to the Providence Village subdivision until they reach the fence to then ride their bikes home. Students should promptly leave the bicycle racks and must not sit on or ride another student’s bicycle.
Dismissal Changes
Any changes in dismissal procedures for a student must come via a phone call to the front office. Calls for changing dismissal must come into the front office (940-369-1900) by 2:00 p.m. Teachers will place a Ride Change sticker on the student’s shirt so the change is visible and to ensure the student gets to the correct dismissal location. As a safety precaution, school personnel will NOT take a child’s word for dismissal changes. Without notification from parents, students will go home via their “normal” mode.
Early Dismissal
If a student is leaving early for a medical or dental appointment, the parent must provide a note from the doctor or dentist verifying the appointment upon their return to school. Due to dismissal procedures, students may not be released from the office between 2:45 and 3:10 pm.
Students who are checked out through the front office will be allowed to leave only with those individuals listed as guardians or emergency contacts. Proper ID will also be checked with those who are unfamiliar to the front office staff. Both parents/legal guardians will have the right to pick up their children unless the school has legal documents that designate otherwise.
It is crucial that arrangements be made for students to be picked up on time. School personnel are unable to supervise students after 3:10 p.m.
