= For daily dismissal or for early dismissal due to weather conditions, = = we must know your child’s plan at the end of the day. =

Please fill in and return the dismissal plan form at the beginning of each school year and notify the office if there are any changes to your child’s plan during the year. **If your child’s plan is different on different days of the week, please explain that in detail on the form**. **If you have a change for just one day, send a note to your child’s teacher that day and he/she will forward it to the office or call the school office and speak to the administrative assistant**.

** We can only dismiss a child to an adult who is listed by the parent as someone authorized to take the child from school. ** If someone other than a parent/guardian is picking up your child, provide written authorization. The adult picking up your child may be asked for identification if he/she is not familiar to the office staff. We do this to insure your children’s safety. If your child is always picked up in a vehicle, the driver will join the line in the driveway and stay in the vehicle. Vehicles will be pulled up to the end of the sidewalk in front of the gym. A staff member will see which children are needed and call the child(ren) to exit the back gym door and enter the vehicle. Once that vehicle has pulled away, the next will pull up and those child(ren) will be called. It is important that drivers stay in the cars and keep the traffic flow moving. Our staff will assist with getting children safely into the vehicles. For those who always walk to the school OR park on the street and walk down the sidewalk to meet your child(ren), the children will walk out the front door with their teachers. You will go to your child or make sure your child’s teacher is aware that their adult is there (High Five!) before walking off. The children and teachers will be grouped by grade levels on the sidewalk. If you would like your child(ren) to walk home on their own unescorted then please provide a note stating they have permission to walk home on their own. Children who ride the bus go to the library for dismissal where attendance will be taken. Bus lines will be escorted by staff to the buses in the upper parking lot. **Children who go to the Greenfield Recreation After School Program (GRASP) will go to the cafeteria for dismissal. Any questions regarding GRASP should be directed to the Greenfield Recreation department at 413-772-1553**.
