Dismissals

Dismissals

Inclement Weather Dismissal

If lightning is detected during dismissal, students will be held in place until it is determined to be safe and normal dismissal will resume. Parents will be notified via schoolmessenger.

Early Check Outs

We ask that if you are picking up your child early, please come by 2:30PM. (1:30PM on Wednesdays).

Dismissal Begins at 3:05PM

With your help, we can dismiss all students safely in 20-25 minutes. Each student will be receiving a back pack tag identifying how the student gets dismissed: Walker, Bike Rider, Car Rider, Bus Rider, Day Care Van, and KidZone. In order to expedite dismissal, please follow these directions:

There are four different ways that a student can be dismissed. Students are dismissed via Bus/Daycare Van, students can be Car-Riders, students can be Walkers/Bike Riders, and students can attend KidZone. Even if students are not Car-Riders every day, if there is a chance that your student will be a car-rider (inclement weather, special circumstances), you will need to read and follow the procedures for a car-rider. Here are brief overviews of the changes to those four ways.

Changes In Dismissal

  • Please be certain that your child understands transportation arrangements before leaving home in the morning.
  • A note to your child’s teacher indicating any change in transportation MUST be sent each time there is a change, or your child will be sent home the usual way.
  • In cases of emergency, transportation changes may be given to the receptionist in the Front Office. DO NOT leave transportation changes on a teacher’s voicemail.

Car Riders - Both Car Lines

  • Parents/Guardians MUST have a car tag. This needs to be hanging from the rearview mirror.
  • Car tags will be available in the Learning Commons during Meet the Teacher or through the front office once school starts. If someone arrives on campus without a Car Tag, they will be asked to park, and present their ID to the front office.
  • Drivers will pull all the way forward using the lane near the curb. Students will be released to the cars by staff.
  • Once the car is loaded, and there is no car in front, the driver may pull away.

Walkers/Bikers

  • Walkers and Bikers MUST know which direction they leave campus.Walkers and bikers use the same sidewalks.
  • Bikers will use the gated bike area on either the north or south gates to house their bike. Bikers are not to use the middle sidewalk.

Bus/Day Care

Only regularly scheduled bus students are to ride the school buses. Students will not be allowed to ride a bus or a different bus unless it is for emergency reasons related to the health, welfare, and safety of the student.


KidZone

  • Kid Zone begins at 3:05PM and they report to the PLC Cafe
  • Pick up for Kid Zone is located through the PLC Car Line in the back of the building
