We are seeing an influx of late arrivals and early departures from school. Here are a few reminders that all Parents/Guardians must follow:
Front Office Closure: The front office will be closed daily from 3:00-3:45 pm to ensure the safety of all students and reduce the number of visitors in the building during a critical time of day. If you need to pick up your child up early please do so prior to 3:00 pm.
Arrivals:
All PreK-Kindergarten students are dropped off in the back of the building
Any arrival after 8:15am, the parent/guardian must park, escort students inside the building and sign them in.
Failure to sign your student in could result in attendance intervention meeting to discuss a plan for arriving on time
Failure to show improvement on the plan could lead to unexcused absences as minutes will be calculated and monitored for attendance purposes
Parents/Guardians are NOT to escort students to their classrooms
Dismissal:
No transportation changes will be accepted after 2:30pm daily
The front office will be closed from 3:00-3:45 pm for dismissal purposes
Parents/Guardians are NOT permitted to remove a student from the bus line or bus during dismissal
Removal of a student from the bus/bus line is a safety issue
INTAC personnel is responsible for the location of each student and removing without prior authorization (before 2:30pm) creates a safety, legal and location issue for our staff and students
Friday Prayer dismissal changes must be arranged prior to 2:30pm NO exceptions
