Otsego Elementary School Faculty Handbook - Half Hollow Hills

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Please follow the procedures below when preparing to dismiss your
students at the end of the school day.
• All classes should remain in their rooms until an announcement is
made that dismissal may begin
• When the first announcement is made, you may send down any
student who is attending R.E.A.C.H. (must be on the schedule, or
have a parent note for that day) or being picked up (must have a
parent note) that day.
• After the announcement, kindergarten and fifth grade classes will
exit the building via the kindergarten wing. They will be followed by
the classes in the 300 wing, the classes in the 200 wing, and the
remaining classes in the 100 wing, IN THAT ORDER. This will
expedite the dismissal process and enable us to load the buses in a
timely manner.
• All students must exit the building with you. Students who are
staying after school will re-enter the building via the main entrance
and proceed to their designated location.
Please Note: For the first few weeks of school, there will be several
announcements each afternoon indicating when each section of the
building should dismiss. Once the process becomes routine for us and our
students, these announcements will be phased out. To help facilitate a
smooth dismissal, please make sure your class is ready and wait for your
section to be called before entering the hallway.
