What is the dismissal procedure for a student who needs to leave school early?
Early dismissals for students are considered to be any dismissal up until 3:45pm. After that time, we simply cannot honor a request for an early dismissal as it is too close to regular dismissal time. We would appreciate receiving requests for early dismissals no later than 1:00pm on the day the request is made. To advise us of an early dismissal: • Parents should call the early dismissal phone number (203) 629-1408 before 1:00pm. After the automated attendant prompts you, dial 8 and leave your message. • Children should be picked up in the Main Office at the designated time you have requested for early dismissal. • Parents should sign their child out at that time so we know the child has left with a responsible adult and will not be in attendance at the usual dismissal time. What is the procedure for a change in how a child normally gets picked up? If you are changing the way your child normally gets picked up (e.g., car to bus or bus to car) you must call the dismissal line (203) 629
