Chisholm Update
August 16, 2023
Welcome Back Chisholm Chargers!
We are so excited to begin another school year tomorrow morning for our first day of school. This is my 27th first day of school as an educator, and I can assure you we are all nervously anxious at the beginning of a school year. Please know that we are here to make sure the students are taken care of and we will work to replace the nervous anxiousness with confidence and assurance in the coming days as we all become more familiar with the procedures. Please read through this newsletter as there is a lot of pertinent information with this update. As we move through the year, it is my goal to send one out each week with updated information.
Our doors will open each day beginning at 8:20 as staff are on hand to begin accepting students at that time. Per district policy, parents/ guardians will not be allowed to enter the building and walk your child to their classroom, so please take your first-day pictures before arriving on campus. We will have several Edmond Memorial High School students along with all available staff to help with the arrival process making sure we get all students to their appropriate locations.
Please have your students wear their colored lanyards, which you received during meet the teacher/ team. We ask for students to wear these during the first days of school. These lanyards are helpful in guiding the students to their classroom/ arrival locations along with how they get home at the end of the day.
End of the Day Checkout
If you need to check out your student before the end of the day, please do so by using the kiosk in the office foyer before 3:00. You will need your driver's license for any time you are checking out of visiting the campus. Early out dismissals are recorded similarly to tardies. Per district policy on attendance, three early out or tardies equals an absence.
If you are picking up your child at the end of the day via car, please refer to the Car Rider portion of the dismissal procedures listed below. Once you arrive on campus (turning into our parking lot by our front marquee) be sure to have your yellow hangtag on display from your rearview mirror. Our duty person will be entering the numbers in the area by the marquee and we will order your child in the area outside the first-grade hallway.
If you do not have a current-year hangtag, you will need to park your car and enter the office so we can verify you are on the student's check-out list.
Arrival/Dismissal
Please remember at the beginning of the school year, car lines will take significantly longer time than what we normally see during the school year. Make sure you are paying attention and courteous to the staff on duty and other cars (no right on red turning in!). I know it can be frustrating with longer wait times, but once everyone gets into the swing of things our dismissal times are typically 20-25 min.
Please do not block the bus entrance on 33rd as we have daycares and buses that enter and exit from our parking lot.
