DISMISSAL PROCEDURESDISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Our goal at Arbury Hills School is that your children arrive and depart our building in a safe and secure manner. If you will be driving your child to school please follow the following procedures:
CAR RIDERS:
•Traffic Pattern is one way in and one way out. Please enter at the south – west end of the drive.
• Drive in single file to the furthest orange cone. If you arrive early please do not park in front of the doors as you will be asked to move once dismissal begins.
• The car riders will exit the doors at the front of the school and your child will be able to walk to your car as it will be parked next to the curb. Supervising teachers will assist your child and make sure that they get to your car in a safe and orderly manner.
• At no time may students cross the drive to get to the parking lot. If there is an emergency and you must park and pick up then please exit your vehicle, cross the drive, collect your child from the supervising teacher and supervise your child as you cross the drive back to your car.
• Your child must go home with you. Please let the office know in writing if your child will be going home with another adult other than yourself.
• Please do not park in the bus lanes or in the bus dismissal area and be attentive to the bus STOP arm at all times.
WALKERS:
• Meet your child on school property in front of the school
• Please allow the staff to safely chaperone your child to the meeting points on school property in front of the school. We have made slight changes based on parent feedback (8/19/10). The goal is to keep the main entrance clear of parents and other adults. A student only area directly in front of the main entrance allows our teachers to safely dismiss the students.
Again, our goal is to keep student safety as a priority during dismissal and to also provide a safe environment for parents and younger siblings too. Please work with us to learn this new process over the next week or so.
Do not hesitate to contact us with feedback and concerns.

General Information ATTENDANCE

An ill child should not be in school, since this may result in his/her health being impaired further and may result in other children being exposed to a communicable disease. However, every effort should be made to have the child in school each day he/she is able to attend. Please remember to notify the office when your child will be absent. 708-479-2106
GRADING SCALE
