Dismissal Procedures - Thank you for your cooperation! We appreciate it very much!
If you are car pick up, please remain in your vehicle and follow the bus line when picking your child up from school. Teachers will guide their students to the correct bus numbers and then buses will leave the elementary and go to the JH/HS to pick up bus riders. Next, teachers will wait with their students and watch for their parents/guardians to pull around under the awning for car pick up. Without a note or phone call, students will be sent to the usual location. We strictly enforce this rule.
Daily Transportation Sheets - Again, thank you for your cooperation! It helps us have a smooth end of the day!
In an effort to increase security and safety of students, also to minimize classroom disruptions throughout the day we are asking that all transportation changes go through Brad in the office at 641-944-5241. Please make every effort possible to call before 3:00 p.m. Our transportation sheets are delivered to classroom teachers at 3:30 p.m. If your child plans to stay at school for after school activities, please let us know this information as well. We cannot thank you enough for your cooperation with this. Although we recognize it may take extra time to call and inform the school, safety is our number one priority and we believe the extra layer of security is worth it.
