Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
I will meet students outside by the playground doors at 8:20. .
There is an adult supervisor on the playground at 8:10,
so students can be left on the playground as early as 8:10.
If your child is going for breakfast, they will enter the doors by the gym.
Beginning this week we will need our families to remain outside the gates
of the playground in the morning.
We were told by the police department that this is how we keep o
ur students safe at school!
Staff members are on the playground and will be glad to help get our littlest l
earners where they need to be and keep them safe.
The students have had a lot of practice lining up as a class and are now very familiar with the routine.
If you need to send me a message please text me. 773-968-9657 or
if your child is having separation issues, please contact me to discuss.
Parents that need to enter the building should enter the front door and sign in.
At dismissal, Y5/K teachers will walk students to the back of the school at 3:40.
This allows us to help our littlest learners get to their families without
the congestion of other grades.
Teachers will not dismiss Y5/K students without seeing the parent/guardian.
Please park and walk up to pick up your student. Thank you!
A teacher will help our Y5/K bus riders get to the correct bus at the end of the day.
