DISMISSAL
The school day ends at 2:20 p.m. Pre-K students will be dismissed at the rear of the school. Kindergarten classes will line up in the Multipurpose Room. Grade 1 students will line up outside in the playground.
Parents should arrive at the school by 2:15 p.m. to ensure prompt pick-up. Teachers will release students one at a time and must document who picks up each child. Please do not call out to your child to come to you. Only adults 18 years of age and older who are listed on the blue emergency card are authorized to pick up your child. The adults must always carry proper identification. This procedure ensures the safety of all students.
Please do not double-park or park your vehicle in the no-parking zone in front of the school building. The space is reserved for the school buses to drop off and pick up our students safely. Also, do not block any driveways on the block.
Your child counts on YOU to be on time for arrival and dismissal! If you are not at school in time for dismissal, you must come to the main entrance of the school and sign in at the security desk. Please remember to carry proper identification (ID) with you at all times. If you know you will be delayed, please call the main office at (718) 850-0738 to let us know.
We appreciate your cooperation.
