Dismissal/Parent Pickup

school bus


 

Parent pick up students will be dismissed from their classroom to the parent pick up line after the 3:00 announcements. Bus students will be dismissed at 3:05. Students should not be picked up before 3:05 p.m. or they will be marked tardy in the afternoon.
 
Parent pick up procedures will be as follows:
1. A written note with a parent/guardian’s signature must be sent in with your child informing us that he/she will be parent pick up that day. For the security of each student, telephone calls are not acceptable except in the cases of emergencies. Notes can also be faxed to 410-386-4444 by 2:00 p.m. Please call the school to verify that we have received the fax.
 
2. When parent pick up dismissal is announced, students will report to the side door.
 
3. To keep dismissal orderly, parents are asked to wait in line outside the door as students will be dismissed one at a time by the staff member on duty. This is for the safety and security of your child. If the staff member on duty is not familiar with you, you will be asked to show photo ID that must match the name given by the parent as to who is picking up the child that day.
 
4. Students are to be picked up by 3:15 p.m. Students who are not picked up by 3:15 each day will come to the office to make a phone call home.
 
5. If your child will be picked up everyday, please let the office know in writing.
 
YMCA STUDENTS
 
YMCA students will be dismissed to the cafeteria at 3:05 p.m. If your child will be attending the YMCA as a “drop in” and is registered in the program, please make sure your child is aware of the day that he/she is attending the YMCA program. When this occurs, please notify the school office and your child’s teacher in writing.
