Information

SCHOOL ARRIVAL 

  • Students arrive beginning at 8:20 AM. Supervision begins at 8:20 when the doors open. If you need child care before 8:20 please contact the TLC Before and After School Program (203-452-9626).

  • The bell rings at 8:35 AM. Please help your children arrive at school on time.

  • Drop-off at the back begins at 8:20. For the safety of both the children and driver, we ask that drivers do not exit their vehicles. Also, drivers should not pass other drivers. Please have your child exit the car on the passenger side. We realize some of our students are in car seats, so we have adults in the drop-off circle to help open doors and help children exit, if needed. 

  • Please help your children by making sure all school materials (i.e. lunch money, dismissal notes, homework, glasses) are placed in backpacks the night before and are labeled with the child’s name. 

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

  • Students being picked up by parents are called to the cafeteria at 3:05. If you are picking up your child, you need to drive to the back of the school to be picked up at the café door. Please write your student's last name on a large sheet of paper to be placed in your windshield.   

  • Students who regularly ride the bus need a note if there is a change in dismissal. If there is no note and parents cannot be reached, students are automatically sent home on the bus. 

  • The regular school day ends at 3:20. Teachers plan lessons up to preparation for dismissal, so PLEASE do not pick up your children early unless absolutely necessary. We greatly appreciate your efforts to plan appointments with this in mind. 

DISMISSAL CHANGES

  • A note is needed if there is a change in your child’s regularly assigned dismissal procedure. Please send a note on a 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper with the child’s full name, teacher name and date signed by the parent/guardian if there is any “change in plans” for student dismissal and have your child hand it to the teacher in the morning. Do not send emails to teachers, as they may be absent causing the office to not be informed. We understand that at times there are last minute changes in family dismissal arrangements based on emergencies and ask that these last-minute changes be kept to a minimum. Please call the office by 12:00 p.m. for last minute changes. 

BUS PROCEDURE

  • Students must ride their assigned bus. Students are not allowed to switch buses for playdates.
