Dismissal Reminder: For the Safety of All!


Hello, OR Families –
Please take a few minutes to review our dismissal safety procedures.  Thank you for your support and or following these procedures to keep our children safe in school. 
Parents picking up students must enter through the main front doors.  Please do not follow classes in the back entrance from the playground. Parents are asked to arrive at school no earlier than 3:00 to begin signing students out at the Main Office.  Come in the main doors, come to the Main Office counter, and sign your child out using the “Sign Out” list provided.  Once you have signed your child out, please wait only in the main lobby near the front doors, and do not wander down the hallways or to the classrooms.
All classes are in full session until 3:10 p.m.  At 3:10, students and teachers are getting back to their own classrooms and are busily preparing for dismissal.
Children being picked up will be dismissed from their classrooms at 3:17.  At that time, students come to the main lobby to meet up with the person who has signed them out.  Please depart promptly at that time to alleviate congestion by the main door.  Help us to keep your children safe by clearing the main entrance so that students being dismissed to the buses are not walking through and among the adults in the main doorway.
At 3:20 our bus dismissal bell rings. All bus riders are then escorted by their teachers to the main door and out to the buses.  All of our buses leave school no later than 3:30.
Finally, all visitors at any other time during the school day must stop at the Main Office and sign in for a Visitor’s Badge.
Once again, thank you for your help while we take all precautions to keep your children safe at school.  Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Clark
OR Principal
