Afternoon Pickup Procedures
Please follow the guidelines listed below for your child’s safety.

• If they are a bus rider and are not riding the bus home we must have a note that morning or you must be in the office to sign them out by 3:45. We are unable to remove a child from the bus after dismissal.
• When picking up your child please make sure that all students and their families/pick up person use the crosswalk.
• If you are waiting in your car to pick up your student please wait patiently in line until the person in front of you moves forward.
• If you are waiting in your car to pick up your student please do not block the buses.
• If you have any questions please call the office at 794-4200.

Attendance

• If your child will be absent or tardy from school, please make sure and call the office at 794-4200 by 9:30 a.m. We will be calling on all unverified absences. We encourage parents to schedule appointments on days we are not in school, if possible (inservices, 1/2 day releases, holiday beaks…).
• If your child is tardy or coming to school late (ie. doctors appt.) you will need to come into the office to sign them in.
• If your child is a bus rider and you will be picking them up at the end of the day we either need you to write a note in the morning or come into the office to sign them up as a walker by 3:45. You may call to let us know your plans but we must have confirmation in writing.
• Any change of transportation must be done in writing.

Bus Riders

• Any change in a child’s daily bus routine must be verified in writing from the child’s parents/guardians before school starts that day. Written notice must be given to the office if the child is to be picked up that day instead of riding the bus home. For the safety of your child we do not honor telephone calls to change a child’s school bus routine unless it is an emergency.
