Dater's Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Arrival and dismissal is a fast -paced and energetic time for students and staff. The staff has brainstormed some possible strategies for making this transition run smoother. Click on the heading above to link to the Arrival and Dismissal Procedures flyer.

As always we ask that families are patient, safe and respectful.

Things to know:

  • The school day is 9:15-3:45pm . We begin accepting students at 8:45am . This is a change from previous years. We ask that you not drop off your child(ren) before 8:45am . There is no adult supervision before that time. The YMCA program is available for parents who are interested in before and/or after care. Please contact Mrs. Wells at 363-0977.
  • Office hours are 8:15-4:15pm .
  • All students may participate in our Universal Breakfast program. When students arrive at school, they may go to the cafeteria and get breakfast. If your child arrives late, they may still get breakfast.
  • All visitors must sign in at the office and get a Visitor’s badge. Please do not get offended if a staff member asks to see your badge. It is only for the safety of your staff and students.
  • We ask that you do not park in the numbered spaces. These spaces are reserved for staff. The white lined spaces are for the Roberts’ staff. Please be respectful of their space and do not park in those spaces.
  • Please refer to the calendar link to view upcoming events.

 

Parent Volunteer Opportunities

We are in desperate need for someone to set up the After School Enrichment Program. We will put you in touch with the past chairpersons. There is an abundance of information to help. If no one steps up there will be no program.

If you are interested in the following events please call the corresponding chairperson, or PTN President Mary Anne Cowgill at 699-7310, or have Laura drop a note into her mailbox.

Don’t be afraid to take the first step.
