Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
The preschool and half day kindergarten programs are in session from 8:30 am or 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and the full day kindergarten program is 8:30 am to 2:30 pm Monday through Friday. Please accompany your child to designated drop off doors and sign in and out each day. Arrive for class no earlier than 10 minutes before class time. This will allow time for the teachers to prepare for the beginning of the school day. Children should be picked up promptly at 12:00 pm or 2:30 pm. A late pick-up fee of $10.00 will be charged for each 10 minutes a child is left beginning at 12:10 pm or 2:40 pm.
Occasionally you may wish to arrange for someone other than the regular person to pick up your son or daughter from school. For the safety, comfort and to ensure a smooth pick-up of your child, we ask that you follow the guidelines below:
-Give written authorization for the persons you wish to be allowed to take your child from school. If this person will regularly be picking up your child, please update the master record that you completed at the beginning of the year. Please update this form whenever you have a change in the persons picking up your child.
-Notify the teacher that a different person will be picking up your child. A note should be left with the teacher prior t the beginning of the school day. This will avoid any unnecessary confusion at the end of the school day.
-Prepare your child for the change in pickup. Children look forward to and anticipate being picked up by the regular person. A change in routine can be very unsettling to a child. Please tell your child ahead of time if a different person will be picking him/her up.
