Dismissal at the end of the school day is a very busy time. For safety reasons, and to make dismissal an orderly process, we ask that you cooperate with the following procedures. If your child normally walks or takes the bus, but you are planning to pick your child up at the end of the day, please send a note or call early in the day. Parents/guardians are asked to wait for their child on the other side of the bus circle. Convenience dismissals (those between 1:15 - 1:30) are strongly discouraged, as they put an additional burden on office staff at the busiest part of their workday. Therefore, dismissals between 1:15 - 1:30 must be approved by the administration. The School Committee has adopted a policy on this subject. Please see the summary of policy JLIB - Student Dismissal.
