Getting to School
Arrival and Dismissal
- Student hours are 7:30 - 2:35
- Students that are eating breakfast will enter at 0.
- Pre-K will eat breakfast in the cafeteria.
- Students will not be admitted before that time. There will not be outside supervision of students prior to 7am.
- If you bring your child after 7:45 am, you will need to drop them off at the front door of the school. They will check-in with our attendance clerk and be sent to class.
- Students who arrive after 8:30 am will be marked as a half-day absence. Students who arrive after 11:00am are marked a FULL day absent for the day.
- Students will not be released for early dismissal after 2:00 pm. If your child needs to be picked up early, please send a note so that we are prepared to dismiss them or call the school at least 30 minutes before you plan to pick up your child. If a child needs to be picked up early, it needs to be done BEFORE 2:00 pm. Student safety is our top priority. After 2:00 pm each day, students and teachers are finishing up on learning and beginning to transition and grouping to and for dismissal locations. Finding a student for check out disrupts the dismissal procedures and will not be allowed.
- The school day for students ends at 2:35pm. Students who walk home from school, will be dismissed from the front door of the school. Those students are expected to walk home from school, not be picked up at the front of the school.
- Pre-K -2nd grade students can not walk home alone. They must be accompanied by an adult, or student 3rd grade or older.
- All bus riders will board the bus at the back (east) entrance of the school.
- All other students will be dismissed from the back (east) entrance of the school. For families who arrive prior to 2:35pm.
- Please do not block the lane closest to the sidewalk, as our buses need to have access when picking up students.
- Parents remain in your car and do not send students across the parking lot. We will radio for your child to exit the building. We ask that you have patience, especially at the beginning of the school year, as we begin to recognize cars and after-school pick up vehicles.
- ONLY TPS employees will be allowed in the building during dismissal time.
- Students not picked up by 3:00 will be in the dismissal area waiting for an adult to check them out.
- Students picked up late more than one time may be released to Campus Police.
