FOUR SEASONS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL  

2024-2025

School Times:

• Arrival is at 7:45am when the bell rings.

• Instruction begins at 8:05am.  In order to be considered on-time for school, students are expected to be in their classroom when the 8:05 AM bell rings.

• Dismissal is at 2:25pm when the bell rings.

Car Riders:

• Car riders arriving before 7:45am, go to the Blacktop at the back of the building to wait for the bell.

IMPORTANT:  Please be advised that there is NO adult supervision outside prior to 7:45am and students should not be left unattended by the front (bus loop) doors or on the blacktop.  

• At arrival between 7:45-8:00am, car riders enter through the SIDE doors by the parking lot.

• At dismissal, car riders wait by the wall facing the parking lot.

• During the first weeks of school, your child(ren) will receive a pre-printed paper with their name(s).  When picking up, please display this paper on the RIGHT side of the vehicle’s windshield so staff can identify who is being picked up.

• The car rider lane is single-file and vehicles should NOT pass other vehicles unless directed by school staff.

• Drivers are asked to stay INSIDE their vehicles and move forward as far as possible so more students can safely enter their vehicles at the same time.

• For safety reasons, all car riders enter and exit from the RIGHT side of the vehicle by the sidewalk, rather than from the left side into the parking lot.

• School staff on duty are available to help car riders with getting into and out of their vehicles.

• For younger students requiring adult assistance to buckle/unbuckle or to walk to the door, please park in a parking space rather than use the car rider line.

• Please adhere to staff directives and all posted signs  including not dropping off or parking in the bus loop during school hours)

• Drive slowly and avoid using cell phones during arrival and dismissal.

• We appreciate your patience and understanding that student safety is always our first priority.

Walkers:

• Walkers arriving before 7:45am go to the BLACKTOP in the back of the building and wait for the bell to enter.

IMPORTANT:  Please be advised that there is  NO adult supervision outside prior to 7:45am and students should not be left unattended by the front (bus loop) doors or on the blacktop.

• Walkers arriving between 7:45-8:00 may enter through the side doors by the parking lot or through the front doors in the bus loop.

• Your student is expected to walk home.  If you are meeting your student on property, you must have a plan/meeting location.  Walkers are independent and are not handed off individually to a parent/guardian.  EXCEPTION:  Pre-K and Kindergarten.

Reminders:

• Please keep your dismissal consistent Monday through Friday.  For example, if your student is a bus rider, but you are able to pick him/her up one day - consider picking them up at the bus stop versus changing their dismissal procedure.  CONSISTENCY IS KEY FOR DISMISSAL!

• We cannot accept changes to dismissal after 2:00.  We cannot guarantee that we are able to make a change that close to dismissal.  And please do not email the teacher for a change in dismissal as they cannot always check their email before dismissal.  A change to dismissal must come to the main office staff.
