The front office staff will notify the teacher once they are called. The student will be responsible for gathering their belongings before heading to the front office. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will be required to wait in the foyer until the student is ready. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will need to allow up to 15 minutes for this process. No early pick-up will be allowed within 15 minutes of dismissal.
