Dismissal:
Middle School (5-8):
Yellow buses will be dismissed first, as they arrive.
Please be sure that your child knows their afternoon bus number. All transportation arrangements have been mailed to families.
If your child will not be riding the yellow bus on the first day, please send a note to the main office and homeroom teacher advising us of that change. Otherwise, your child will be sent home on the yellow bus.
EARLY dismissals will not be processed after 2:00 p.m. daily! Please send early dismissal notes to your child’s homeroom teacher in the morning, so we can prepare ahead of time.
Parent Pick-Ups will take place on the Hempstead side, parking lot door (side entrance). Please see the attached map.
Student pick-ups will start at approximately 2:25 p.m. with students in Grades 5-6 being dismissed first.
Please DO NOT BLOCK yellow buses, as they will be picking students up by the door closest to Suffolk St. on Hempstead Avenue.
Anyone picking up a student must be noted on Infinite Campus. Please be sure to bring NYS identification. If you are not on the student pick-up list, the child will not be released. This is a safety matter.

Students taking NFTA busing will be directed to their bus.
NFTA routes 12, 19 and 23 are the specials that transport students directly after school.

Please be mindful of students as they cross the street. We do not want anyone getting hurt.
