Dismissal Procedures and Reminders

We are asking for everyone’s help to ensure a smooth and safe dismissal for all. Please review the information below about our dismissal process. Additional information can be found in our Center Handbook for Families which is located at the end of each Cyclone Central Newsletter.

ANY DISMISSAL CHANGES should be communicated in writing for our MAIN OFFICE staff, or call the main office at 440-995-7400 if it is a last minute change. PLEASE DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL THE TEACHER AS THEY MAY HAVE A SUB OR NOT BE AVAILABLE TO CHECK MESSAGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

Parent/Guardian Pick-Up 2:20-2:30

Students will be dismissed from the classrooms as the parent/guardian arrives and checks in at Door #4.
Those picking up should park, line up outside Door #4, and check-in with the Parent Pick-Up Door Supervisor. (We are unable to have a car pick-up line due to space and traffic constraints.)
Please have an ID ready and make sure all adults allowed to pick up are noted in Infinite Campus.
Update: To avoid potential safety risks or disturbances, please do not bring family pets to our parent dismissal area. We appreciate your understanding.

Please contact our main office with any questions, and thank you for your partnership!
