Afternoon dismissal is important to ensuring that every student makes it home safe. NO STUDENT WILL BE CHECKED OUT AFTER 2:30 p.m. Remember, ONLY PERSONS LISTED ON THE EMERGENCY CARD may sign out students. A valid picture ID MUST be presented EVERY TIME a student is checked out of school. The person listed MUST BE over 18.
It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to notify the school if changes occur during the school year, and update the student Emergency Card as needed.
Please follow the Sign-Out Procedures/Check Out Procedures, Arrival-Dismissal Policy, Carpool Safety Guidelines, and others.
IMPORTANT: We will only permit students to leave as walkers if they are within the approved walking distance of school. All other students will need to be sent home via Bus or Car Line. You can go to jpschools.org , select the button that says “Find it Fast”, click "Find my Bus". If the result states “you would be assigned to this bus stop”, your child will no longer be allowed to leave campus in the afternoon by foot. There are no exceptions. We need to follow the guidance of the State Law.
