Dear Families,
Thank you for your continued cooperation with our dismissal procedures. Following these procedures consistently helps ensure that dismissal runs smoothly and, most importantly, keeps all students, families, and staff safe.
We would like to provide an important reminder regarding the M–Z pick-up line:
If there is still a line on Sherry Street in front of the school, you must join the existing line. Please do not turn left from Sherry Street onto Craig Hanking and bypass families who are already waiting.
Daycare buses and vans are the only vehicles permitted to turn left from Sherry Street onto Craig Hanking during dismissal.
Parents should not block the cones along the curb on Craig Hanking. These areas must remain clear so daycare and school buses can safely pick up designated students.
Please remember that our teachers and staff work very hard—especially in these hot temperatures—to support the dismissal process and ensure the safety of our students. Your cooperation is essential to keeping this process orderly and safe.
The Arlington Police Department is aware of our dismissal procedures and may monitor the area to help ensure everyone follows the established process and remains safe.
If you have any questions or need clarification regarding dismissal procedures, please contact the front office.
Thank you for your cooperation and for supporting our efforts to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal process for everyone.
Thank you, ... See MoreSee Less
