As we launch into a new school year, we need your help to ensure a safe and efficient dismissal process for all scholars. With over 700 students on campus, our goal is to complete dismissal in under 20 minutes—and that takes teamwork!
Please take a moment to complete the Dismissal Survey so we can plan accordingly and keep your child safe every step of the way. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.
Once submitted, be sure to review the dismissal procedures below for your scholar’s designated area. Thank you for being a vital part of a safe and successful start!
Be sure to complete this DISMISSAL SURVEY prior to Orientation.
Parent Pick Up Procedures
Times of scholar dismissal from the classroom:
2:38 Kindergarten only
2:42 K & 1st grade and siblings,
2:45 2nd -6th grade
For parents using our Parent Pick Up line please follow these procedures:
Kindergarten ONLY parents: Please arrive prior to 2:25 and line up in the lane closest to the building. After 2:30, you will be in line with parents of all grades and siblings.
All other grades and sibling parents: Please arrive at 2:30 or later. If you are an early arriver (2:30), line up in the lane farthest from the building. There is a picture below for reference.
Display your car tag from your rearview mirror. (You will receive these at Orientation)
There will be someone who calls your scholar(s) to designated poles. Please stay in your car.
Adults will load the cars with help from our safety patrols on the inside lane.
Once your scholar is loaded in your vehicle, turn on your hazard lights. This will let us know you have your child and are ready to leave campus.
Willow Springs Walkers/Bikers
For our Willow Springs Walkers, please use the sidewalk through Lawton Place Cul-de-sac to access the crosswalk in front of our school. Parents will need to stay at the intersection of 315 and our entrance during dismissal. Coming up to the school will cause unsafe conditions as our employees walk the scholars to the intersection. You can meet them prior to crossing the street.
***Severe Weather Dismissal Procedures***
When we experience a severe weather event that includes lightning, we are required to hold walkers and bikers for 30 minutes after the last lightning strike if the weather is still unstable. If there is a passing storm and the weather clears, usually we will release scholars as soon as it is safe. Our first priority is scholar safety. At the beginning of our severe weather dismissal, if we are able to do so, we will send out a parent link message to alert you. We also post information to Facebook. We have experienced a lightning strike in the past that disabled our internet and phones. Power outages may also affect this ability.
Pick-Up Information
Parent Pick-Up - We will most likely need to go down to a single lane for Severe Weather Dismissal. There will be a staff member who calls for your child. Please stay in your car.
Walkers/Bikers - Please wait at the gate and a staff member will call for your child.
Buses - Buses will be released as soon as it is safe to do so.
SPS Rainy Day Dismissal - During heavy rain where lightning isn’t present, we will follow the above procedures, but hold walkers and bikers until the rain is down to a slight drizzle.
