Pick Up & Dismissal
ARRIVAL PROCEDURE
Both YELLOW and BLUE car lines will be open for both arrival and dismissal. BOTH car lines will open at 8:15 and close at 8:25. Once car lines are closed parents must escort their child(ren) to the main office.Any student arriving after 8:30 MUST BE SIGNED IN at the main office and a late pass will be issued by the Attendance Officer, Mr. Ivan Pillco.
YELLOW CAR LINE: All families who have at least one child in second grade or younger.
BLUE CAR LINE: All families who have children only in third grade or older.
EARLY DISMISSAL & PARTIAL DAY ABSENCES
When early dismissal is necessary, a note from the parent/guardian stating the time of dismissal and reason must be given to the teacher. The parent/guardian must sign the student out at the school office. To avoid disrupting the educational process, early dismissals should be kept to a minimum. Anyone other than the parent/guardian picking up a student for early dismissal must show a picture I.D. and be listed as an emergency pick-up. Students who have tests or quizzes scheduled for the day of early dismissal or late arrival will be expected to take the test or quiz that day unless other arrangements are made with the teacher.
Only seniors are permitted early dismissal from school on a regular basis. Seniors must complete an Early Dismissal Agreement form and have it signed by a parent/guardian in order to leave each day before school is dismissed. Signing out at the main office is still necessary for senior early dismissal. The administration has the authority to revoke this privilege. A cumulative total of 7 early dismissals will be counted as one absence. Early dismissals and partial day absences will impact a student’s eligibility for end-of-year awards.
DISMISSAL
Dismissal begins at 3:15 p.m. in BOTH YELLOW and BLUE car lines. In an effort to provide security and supervision for our students, all students must be picked up by 3:30 p.m. If a person picking up a student in the car line does not have a car tag for the student, they will be asked to show ID. All students not picked up in car line will be sent to Aftercare.
ALTERNATE PERSON PICKUP
If anyone other than a parent/guardian needs to pick up a child, please send a note to the classroom teacher with the date and name of the person responsible for picking up the student. Again, all students not picked up in car line will be sent to Aftercare at a rate of $15 per hour, per student.
AFTERCARE
All students must be picked up by 3:30 p.m. All students not picked up in car line will be sent to Aftercare at a rate of $15 per hour, per student. Students who attend Aftercare will be given a snack and homework supervision will be provided. Aftercare hours are 3:30-5:30 p.m. Ms. Fabrizzio is the Aftercare Coordinator and can be contacted at 732-341-0860.
STUDENT DRIVERS
The ability of a student to drive a motor vehicle on school property is a privilege. This privilege is earned by a student demonstrating that he/she will drive responsibly and will not endanger other students or damage school property. This privilege may be revoked if the actions of a student cast doubt on his/her responsibility.
Students are allowed to drive their cars to school and should park in the student-designated parking area behind the gym.
Students must drive slowly and carefully on school grounds and on the streets surrounding the school.
Students may not go to their cars at any time during the school day without permission from a teacher or administrator.
Student drivers must sign out (with parent/guardian consent) when leaving school early
