Dismissal

When school is dismissed at 3:20 pm, students are able to walk home or meet their parents/ caregivers outside of the school. Older children who walk younger siblings or neighbors should meet them in a prearranged location outside of the building and will be dismissed first in order to pick up their sibling or relative.

Tomorrow, all students grades 1-5 will attend a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports {PBIS} Principal Assembly. During this time, I will be introducing our expected Bear Behaviors. Please take some time to ask your student questions about this assembly and our behavioral expectations. Additionally, I have included a poster template for you to use at home as well a PBIS at home guide for your reference.
