14. Dismissal Procedures Every Minute Counts! All parents are requested NOT to wait in the front of classrooms. It can be very distracting for children to see their parents or younger siblings waiting for them outside of the classroom. All parents and siblings are requested to wait in either the STAR Terrace, the Character Counts Courtyard (between the office and the cafeteria), or Adam’s Gate. We need everyone’s support to follow this procedure so we can have an orderly and non-distracting end of the school day. STAR Terrace Parents must park their car and escort their child to the car. All students need to be picked up by 303 PM on regular school days and 1:34 PM on Wednesdays and minimum days. Adams Gate The gate will be opened until 3:03 PM. All students will be escorted to this dismissal area at 1:34 PM. Please remember on rainy days the gate will be locked.
