Arrival &  Dismissal

What are the school hours?

8:00 - Doors open for students

8:10 -  School begins.  Students arriving after 8:10 will be considered tardy.

2:35 - K-1 Walkers/Parent Pick-up are dismissed (K lobby entrance/1st library door).  

2:42 - 3-6 Walkers/Parent Pick-up are dismissed by the cafeteria.

2:47 - First bus group dismissed with second bus group to follow.

**The doors are unlocked at 7:58 a.m. and students can then go to homeroom or get breakfast.  We ask that parents NOT drop students off before 7:55 as there is no supervision for students dropped off early. 

Where can I drop my child off in the morning?

Our first priority is your child’s safety and the safety of others.  If you drive your child to school in the morning, please enter through Dorsett Drive and follow the arrows to let students out at the crosswalk.  If you are walking your child into the building, please park in the church parking lot.  The bus loop is reserved for buses from 7:45-8:15.  Please do not park in the bus loop during this time, even if there are no buses in the loop.  We have several buses that provide special transportation that arrive late.

How are students dismissed?

Students in kindergarten or 1st grade who do not ride the bus, are dismissed to a parent/adult at the front lobby (K) or the library door (1st) by a teacher.  All other students who do not ride a bus are dismissed and directed to the east end of the building by Holy Child Church.  If you will be picking up your child, you can meet them in the front lobby, the church parking lot or along Dorsett Drive.  The bus loop is not to be used from 2:25-3:00 p.m.

What if I need to change my child’s dismissal plan?

Changes to dismissal plans should be sent in via a note to the office in the morning.  Students will NOT be issued bus passes for a bus they are not rostered on.  Last minute changes to dismissal plans, while sometimes necessary, are stressful to students and disruptive to the school day.  We ask that you please limit dismissal changes to those that are absolutely necessary.  We are also requesting that last minute changes to dismissal plans do not occur after 2:15 p.m. to allow time for the message to get to your child.
