Dismissal time for the all day kindergarten and elementary programs is 3:00. It is imperative that arrival and dismissal times are closely adhered to. The time before class is vital for teacher preparation to ensure a smooth and productive day. Teachers have little time between classes so prompt pick-up time is also a necessity.
Promptness in a child’s life is very important. Tardiness is very disruptive to the teachers and to the children already in class. We regard school as a preparation for continued education and expect all children to arrive on time and be picked up on time. Children who arrive late feel embarrassed and uncomfortable when entering a class already in progress. Children picked up late feel apprehension wondering if someone is coming for them, typically responding with negative behavior.
A $20.00 charge will be imposed for the first 1⁄2 hour or any increment of a 1⁄2 hour for any child that is picked up late (according to the school clock). You will be billed for this charge. Realizing everyone confronts difficulties occasionally, we ask that if you will be late, please call to inform your child’s teacher. We appreciate your efforts to ensure this situation does not happen often.
