TAKING A TRIP
While we do not encourage the taking of trips during the school year, we realize that it is sometimes unavoidable. If your child(ren) will be absent from school for more than two days due to travel, you must fill out a Trip Request Form. This form can be obtained in the office or downloaded by clicking the link above. The form must be submitted at least one week in advance. After completing the form, have your child give it to their homeroom teacher. The teacher will sign the form and submit it to the principal for approval.
STUDENT DISMISSALS
In an effort to increase student safety, the following dismissal options will be utilized for all students.
1. Ride the bus If a student is assigned a bus and unless a parent chooses one of the other approved options, we are expecting them to ride the bus home.
2. Approved walker Students who live in the very specific designated walker area are permitted to walk home. There is a maintained list of these students that is shared with teachers. Only students on this list will be dismissed as a walker.
3. Front door pick up If a parent/guardian needs to pick up a student on any given day, the parent (person picking up) signs the student out in the lobby on the labeled clipboard. This clipboard will be removed at 3:10. The student is then called to the front entrance for dismissal. Students will then be matched to the person picking them up. The individual picking up should be prepared to show proper identification. Please do not park in the front circle of the school.
After 3:10, parents will need to sign students out on the late list. Please note that these students will not be called until approximately 3:25.
4. Permanent side door pick-up -This option is for parents who will be picking up a student every day. Students wait in the multi-purpose room and are sent out to greet their parents’ vehicle. For safety reasons, once placed on this list you CANNOT change how your student is to go home. You will be given a plaque that must be displayed in your car window at every pick up. Your child(ren) will be dismissed from the classroom at 3:10 and will wait in the cafeteria, until you pull-up. Students will then be sent to the waiting vehicle.
Students must be registered every year. Even if your student was PPP this school year, you must register every year.
