Dismissal Changes
 
Dismissal Change Request Forms
 
        Every day we get approximately 30 - 50 dismissal change requests in the office, both by notes and by phone.  We will continue to use the Dismissal Change request Forms for all communication regarding upcoming vacations, late arrivals, and carpool notification.  All notes are sent to the office and logged on the Dismissal Form.pdf and then returned to the classroom teacher.  The dismissal changes are read over the public address system at 3:37 PM each day.  Please do not fax or e-mail requests.
Early Dismissals
 
        The normal school day is over at 3:45 PM.  In 2007, attendance as well as early dismissals have been entered into a new system called DASL.  Early dismissals as well as extensive time out of the classroom (i.e., extended clinic visits) have been recorded.  It gives us a very accurate picture of how much time a student actually spends out of the classroom each year.  Please remember that if you are picking up a child for early dismissal, you may want to come a little earlier in case your child needs to be called down by the office.  It does take a few minutes to get things together.
Vacations
 
        Teachers should be notified as soon as possible if you are planning on taking your child out for a vacation during the school year.  Please use the Dismissal Change Form to note the dates the child will miss from school.  Because it requires extra effort to compile the work, please make sure you understand when the work will be due and all other guidelines set forth by the classroom teacher before your leave for your trip.  Of course, emergency situations will be handled on an individual basis by the classroom teacher.
