    Dismissal Procedures

    Dismissal will start at 2:45 P.M

    Please try to keep your child’s way home consistent. We know emergencies arise, but it is very important that children leave the same way daily. If your child rides a bus, please make sure you have registered them in FOCUS for a bus route. All car riders (K-5) will need to use the main car loop. Walkers will be dismissed from the front walker’s gate and walked out to Loretto Road.

    We will be implementing PikMyKid for our Dismissal this year. All families should download the app. This will allow you to have access to change your child's dismissal as well as who is allowed to pick up. All changes must be completed by 2:15pm daily. Due to safety considerations, we will not take any dismissal changes by phone throughout the day. We also encourage families of bus riders and walkers to download the app. You will be able to receive updates if your child is delayed being released and change their dismissal as needed.

    Directions for installing the PikMyKid app can be found here:
