At the 2:40 p.m. dismissal, students go the cafeteria or to another designated place. Absences verified with the school office. If a student will not attend on a given afternoon, the parents must must send a note to the school office stating that fact. If a student is absent, but his or her name is not on the absentee list, a member of the staff will attempt to notify the parents or guardians.

If a student continuously leaves school when he or she is supposed to attend the after-school program, the parents will be asked to remove the child from the program.

From 2:40 to 3:00 p.m. students change from their uniforms into play clothes, which they bring to school on a daily basis.

From 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. students have a snack and supervised out door play time, weather permitting. (Students will usually have gym time, particularly if there is inclement weather.) This is intended to be relatively unstructured time for the students.

From 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. students have time to do homework or to study. Some help is available for those who need it with their homework, but parents should not consider this a substitute for parent supervision of assignments. Children who do not have homework will be provided with a quiet activity.

From 5:00 to 5:50 p.m. students can play board games, work at puzzles, or engage in other quiet indoor activities. On occasion, there are organized games or activities for this period.

From 5:50 to 6:00 p.m. students clean up the areas where they have been working and collect their belongings.

Please note: If an adult other than a parent or guardian is designated to pick up a child the office must be informed. The office staff in turn will notify the supervisory teacher. School officials reserve the right to require these adults to present some type of identification when picking up a child.
