Freedom Elementary Preschool: A Guide to Afternoon Dismissal and Car Rider Procedures

As the school year progresses, afternoon dismissal procedures can become a crucial part of your child's daily routine. At Freedom Elementary Preschool, our goal is to ensure a smooth and efficient process for all students. Below are some important guidelines to follow:

Cars without an assigned identification tag will be instructed to go to the end of the line and will be assisted once all tagged cars have gone through the line. To avoid delays, it's essential that each car has its identification tag every day.

Pre-K parents may pull up into our 'Buckle Up Area' to assist students with seatbelts. We understand that safety is a top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

To streamline the process, we load multiple cars at one time, and then release loaded cars. Please pull as far forward as you can to the next loading zone, and our staff will load your child into your car.

Please note that we do not release children to parents who walk up to the car rider area. Instead, our trained staff members or Safety Patrol will unload the children from your car.

If you need to make a change in your child's dismissal plans, please submit a written note to their teacher by the morning. This ensures that any necessary adjustments can be made without disrupting the learning environment.

Additionally, please ensure that you know the times and locations for both pick-up and drop-off points. Parents should receive school bus information from the Transportation Department, which is essential in planning your child's daily routine.

Changes in dismissal need to be approved by administrative staff before 2:45 PM. Only the enrolling parent can make changes, and students who will be signed out early through the office must be picked up by 2:45 PM.

To facilitate a smooth dismissal process, students are dismissed in groups: bus/daycare riders, car riders, walkers, and Beyond the Bell Care. The front of the school by the office is not a designated drop-off area for car riders.

Afternoon dismissal begins at 3:15 PM when students exit their classrooms. Please do not leave children unattended or send them to the office before 7:50 AM as there is no supervision available.

For your convenience, parking areas are available along the front of the building and on the east side of the building for Pre-K parents or appointments only. Car rider drop-off is located in the car rider loop.

Students who ride a school bus or daycare vehicle will be dropped off and escorted to the cafeteria. Those needing to be on campus before 7:50 AM must be enrolled in our Beyond the Bell Care Program.

Lastly, we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the safety of all Freedom students. By following these guidelines, you are helping us provide a secure and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Remember, communication is key. If you have any questions or concerns about our afternoon dismissal procedures, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or school administration. Together, we can ensure a successful and stress-free experience for all students at Freedom Elementary Preschool.
