Dismissal times will depend on the time that buses are able to make it to each of the schools.

"It is important that students arrive home to a caring adult and have access to their homes. If parents experience their own difficulties getting home from work, school, etc., please call the school office at least 15 minutes prior to the above stated dismissal times to arrange for you to pick your child up directly at the school.
"Staff members will be on hand to supervise children until you are able to get to the school."
