We have a highly-structured dismissal procedure, as listed below:
- All students are walked to the cafeteria.
- Students sit at the appropriate tables based on how they will leave school. Students walking home sit with one group, while those riding the bus sit with another group, and car riders sit with their group.
- All staff members monitor the dismissal and walk students to the appropriate places.
- We use walkie talkies to let staff members know when car riders are ready to be picked.
- Staff members also walk with bus riders and assist them on the bus.
