* At the
2:40
p.m. dismissal,
students go the cafeteria or to another designated place.
Absences verified with the school office. If a student will not
attend on a given afternoon, the parents must must send a note to the
school office stating that fact. If a student is absent, but his
or her name is not on the absentee list, a member of the staff will
attempt to notify the parents or guardians.
* If a student continuously
leaves school when he or she is supposed to attend the after-school
program, the parents will be asked to remove the child from the
program.
* From 2:40 to 3:00 p.m. students change from their uniforms into play
clothes, which they bring to school on a daily
basis.
* From 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. students have a snack and supervised out door play
time, weather permitting. (Students will usually have gym time,
particularly if there is inclement weather.) This is intended to be
relatively unstructured time for the students.
* From 4:00 to
5:00 p.m. students have time
to do homework or to study. Some help is available for those who
need it with their homework, but parents should not consider this a
substitute for parent supervision of assignments. Children who do
not have homework will be provided with a quiet
activity.
* From 5:00 to 5:50 p.m. students can play board games, work at puzzles, or
engage in other quiet indoor activities. On occasion, there are
organized games or activities for this period.
* From 5:50 to 6:00
p.m. students clean up
the areas where they have been working and collect their
belongings. Please note: If an adult other than a parent or
guardian is designated to pick up a child the office must be
informed. The office staff in turn will notify the supervisory
teacher. School officials reserve the right to require these
adults to present some type of identification when picking up a
child. |
