Pick-Up

WHAT IS DASH PASS?

RAINY DAY

It is very important for parents to discuss with their children exactly what they want them to do should it be raining at dismissal.

Some parents want their children to ride / walk on home if there is a light rain. Others want their child to stay at school and wait to be picked up. This is your decision.

Please be sure, however, that your child and his / her teacher knows exactly what you want him / her to do.

During the last half-hour of school on a rainy day, it may be impossible to get through the phone lines, or if you do at the last minute, it may be impossible to get to the child before he / she leaves campus.

Planning ahead makes it safer and easier for all concerned.

BICYCLE RIDERS & WALKERS

Bike riders are to wear helmets when riding a bike to and from school per state law. Students who walk or ride bicycles should leave immediately at school dismissal unless prearranged by a teacher.

Bicycles must be parked in the bike rack in the front of the school.

Please advise your child to obey all traffic rules and regulations. Failure to comply with safety rules will result in loss of bike riding privileges.

BUS RIDERS

Student dismissal to the buses will be directed over the intercom. Students are to remain in the classroom until their bus is called (Bus Routes). Once the student has boarded the bus, he/she will not be allowed to leave the bus.

Every bus student must ride the bus home in the afternoon unless written or verbal permission from the parent has been received at the school office. Transported students are always transported by bus until we are notified of a change.
Children who are not bus-transported students are not permitted to ride the buses.
Transported students are not allowed to change buses or bus stops until the reason for the change has been cleared through the school office and the change approved by the principal, or the coordinator of transportation.
Students will not be allowed to ride a different bus than the one regularly assigned.

The same discipline is maintained on the bus as in the classroom. Riding the bus is a privilege. Students who fail to maintain appropriate behavior may be suspended from the bus.
