STUDENT DISMISSAL

Student dismissal will have a staggered release.  Our BUS riders and WALKERS will be leaving their classrooms at 3:13 PM.  In years past, over 70% of our students rode a bus for our PM routes, so, as you can imagine, we will have a lot of students leaving at this time.  There is not a designated area where walkers are picked up.  Please communicate with your student where you will be each day so that your walker will know which crosswalk to use.  We have crosswalks on the south side of campus that cross Bear Creek Parkway and another that crosses over Phillips Drive on the north side of campus.  If you are parking your vehicle in our neighborhoods around us, please be respectful by not blocking driveways, walking on lawns, or speeding.  We are surrounded by a sweet community and a beautiful park, so we want to make sure we take care of these areas.

At 3:15, our CAR RIDERS will be dismissed.  We do not call out names.  Students are instructed to watch as the cars pull up to see where they would need to use the crosswalk, if needed.  We will have many adults out to help encourage our students to keep watching for you as you safely drive around the loop.  Remember to stay off your cell phone in our loop for safety reasons.

For the first week or so of school, please continue to communicate with your student how they will be getting home. i.e. which bus to get on, which location to walk home, who will be picking them up etc.  Some times students get very nervous during this new transition and we want to ensure you student gets home safely and on time.
