Dismissal / Afternoon Pick up-Dismissal / Emergency Dismissal Information
DISMISSAL
Students must leave the school grounds immediately after dismissal. Early dismissal ends at 2:30 p.m. After that time, parents/guardians must pick up their children in the car line. Students will be called to report to their car. All students who are not picked up by 3:30 p.m. will be placed in the After School Program and will be charged the daily rate. Parents are responsible for paying all After School Program fees accumulated due to late pick up. Additional pick-up logistics will be given at the start of the school year.
Afternoon Pick Up/Dismissal
- Dismissal will begin at 3:15 p.m.
- Please drive into the school parking lot and follow the direction of the Parking Lot Team.
- Your child will be called and will walk to your car once they are permitted to do so by the staff on duty. Please be prepared to sign and to verify before your child is released to you.
- Please do not walk up to the porch to have your child called down. Please see the arrival and dismissal policies and procedures handout.
- Please note that for the first couple of weeks of school, the dismissal process may take longer as new parents adjust, etc. Nevertheless, it is still the parent’s responsibility to pick up his/her child on time, directly after school.
EARLY DISMISSAL
If your child will need to be dismissed prior to the end of the school day, we ask that you come to the school’s front desk and sign him or her out with our front office staff. The office staff will send for your child. Early dismissal ends at 2:30 p.m. Following that time, regular dismissal will commence; any parent who picks up a child early more than two times without relevant documentation will be required to meet with school administration about the matter. Only individuals listed on the EMERGENCY CONTACT FORM will be allowed to pick up students from the school during the school day. A valid picture ID will be required for any individual picking up students. If someone arrives at the school to seek the release of a student and the person’s name is not on the emergency contact card and/or the person does not have valid photo identification, the student will not be released. Additionally, early dismissal after a field trip is not permitted. Parents must contact the school before 2:30 p.m. to change a child’s dismissal procedure for the day.
EMERGENCY DISMISSAL INFORMATION
An Emergency Information Card will be sent home with each child for parents to give specific plans for children during emergency situations. It is the parent’s responsibility to return the required card to school and to make sure that Imagine Lincoln Public Charter School has updated contact information if or when the emergency contact information changes. In addition, the procedures for emergency dismissal should be discussed with each child.
