Early dismissals tend to be a bit confusing to kindergarten parents, so here is some information that may be beneficial for you to know!
On early dismissal days, only one group of kindergartners (either AM or PM) will have school from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm. The information as to which group attends can be found on the district calendar. (Please Note: Student Arrival begins at 8:45 if being dropped off and dismissal begins at 1:25 if being picked up.) Your child will ride the bus to school in the morning and home from school at dismissal. If you plan to pick your child up from school, please be sure to send me an email, send a note to the school, or fill out the pick-up form on the Martic website so we are aware of the change. Students are dropped off and picked up from the side of the building on early dismissal days.
The specified group of students will come to school in the morning, eat lunch at school, and then be dismissed starting at 1:25. You should have received an approximate morning bus pickup time and drop-off time when you received busing information. Please keep this information as a reference for the entire year because you will not be receiving it again. You should also be able to access the information on Sapphire. On Early Dismissal days, you will need to subtract 2 hours from the drop-off time due to the early dismissal. For example, if it says your child is dropped off at 3:43 pm, he or she will be dropped off around 1:43 pm on an Early Dismissal day.
Please note: The group of students that does not come to school has the day off.
Lunch costs $2.35. If your child would like to pack a lunch and buy milk, the cost is $.60 for milk. You can access the school’s breakfast and lunch menus by visiting the Penn Manor School District site, which is found here…
If we should have delays in the start of school because of inclement weather (ex. snow), school will operate on a modified schedule.
If we would have a one (1) hour delay
If we would have a one (1) hour delay
Morning kindergarten students would be picked up by the bus one (1) hour later than usual and will need to be picked up by parents at their regular time to go home.
Afternoon kindergarten would operate on a normal schedule.
If we would have a two (2) hour delay (*Modified Kindergarten)
If we would have a two (2) hour delay (*Modified Kindergarten)
Morning kindergarten students would be picked up by the bus two (2) hours later than usual. They would be dismissed at approximately 12:45 pm for parent pickup.
Afternoon kindergarten students start 50 minutes later than usual. School would start at 1:45 pm. They would be dismissed at 3:25 pm as usual.
We realize that these schedule changes may be confusing and hard to remember.
If the change in the schedule presents a need for any changes in the transportation utilized by your child, please communicate with the school office as soon as possible!
In the event of inclement weather, please try NOT to call the school to find out whether or not school is delayed, closed, or leaving out early. Instead, please check Martic’s Website or Penn Manor’s Website. Thank you.
