Handbook: Carpool / Dismissal

CARPOOL / DISMISSAL
1. During carpool dismissal, students will remain in their last period class or assigned room with no to
minimal talking. Middle school students are to return to their last period class after packing-up for dismissal.
2. Parents pick up their children in the carpool line. Due to safety and limited space, parents are asked not to
come inside nor wait at the school doors to pick up their children.
3. Students will only be released to individuals listed on their transportation forms. Therefore, anyone who
drives your child’s carpool must be listed on all the carpool members’ transportation forms. Substitutions
will not be allowed without parental consent. Please notify the office early in the day regarding any changes
to your child’s regular carpool.
4. For the carpool line to run smoothly and safely, all cars should line up in the order in which they have
arrived beginning in the location closest to the main entrance. Drivers should proceed forward as the carpool
line advances and should not begin conversations with teachers or others in the carpool line. Teachers
working the carpool line will assist each child in opening and closing car doors.
5. IF YOU NEED TO LEAVE YOUR CAR, PLEASE EXIT THE CARPOOL LINE AND PARK IN THE
PARKING LOT.
6. For safety and legal purposes, every child must have a seat belt and no child 12 and under may sit in the
front of a vehicle containing an airbag. In addition, students will not be released to any driver seemingly
unfit or incompetent to drive. Another adult on the students’ emergency information card will be contacted
to arrange for alternative transportation.
7. Students not picked-up by 3:50 p.m. will be dismissed to the Homework Lab and the parents’ credit card on
file will be charged $5.00 the following school day. Please see the After-School Programming section for
more information regarding Homework Lab.
8. Middle School Students going to the JCC Youth Lounge must have permission on record from parents or
guardians. Students may not go to the JCC Youth Lounge until an announcement dismissing them has been
made.
