Dismissal Procedures
Dismissal will begin at 2:30 p.m. Students who ride in cars and last names begin with A-N are picked up in the front parking lot. Students who ride in cars and last names begin with O-Z are picked up in the back parking lot. This will be done in an orderly fashoin with the help of faculty and the Safety Patrol. Walkers go to the cafeteria along with the After-School Day Care students.
Several teachers will be on duty after school from 2:30 –
2:50 p.m. Students in grades K-2 and grades 6-8 who
are picked up in the back parking lot are dismissed by the library.
Students in K-2 and grades 6-8 who are picked up in the front parking lot are
dismissed by the multi-purpose building at the east end of the school.
Students in grades 3-5 are dismissed by the doors at the south side of the back
parking lot or through the front doors. At dismissal students are to
immediately go to their cars. If their ride is not in the parking lot the
students are to return to the sidewalk area by the library doors or outside the
multi-purpose building. Once students are in their cars, the teachers will
direct the cars to begin leaving the parking lot. When all the cars have
left the parking lot, the remaining students will be walked to the main entrance
to the school. Please be prompt with pick up as a courtesy to the
staff. Students must be picked up by 2:50 p.m. or will be sent to After
School Care for a fee.
** If a student needs to be picked up for an appointment or parents need to get
other children at Memorial High School, a request form must be on file in the
school office. The student may then be dismissed to the small parking lot
at the west side of the church. All other pick-ups are to be made in the
large parking lot in the front or back of school.**
Walkers cross Theater Drive and Stockwell Road with the Safety Patrol. It is very important that walkers respect the authority of the Safety Patrol, as these streets are very busy. Students who do not do so, will be disciplined accordingly.
For the safety of your child, students leaving with or going home with another student MUST have a written permission from the parent. This permission must be given to the teacher.
Bicycles are dismissed with walkers. All riders must obey the Safety Patrol and use the same crosswalks as the walkers. We call to your attention that the school is not responsible for any vandalism or theft of bicycles. Those students who ride bicycles should park and lock them in the bicycle rack provided. Skates are not considered appropriate means of transportation to and from school and therefore, will not be allowed.
Students are not to eat any item or chew gum during dismissal times.
Students are not to purchase drinks from the soft drink machines after school unless the principal or a teacher gives approval.
Students are not permitted to use the soft drink dispenser located off the kitchen.
Students may not play in or throw snow or ice.
