DISMISSAL PLAN

 

 

In the beginning of the school year, you must submit your dismissal plan for your child for the entire school year.  Your dismissal plan will remain the same for each week they are at school.  If you need to make a change to a dismissal plan due to an emergency, please call the school office at (219)531-3090 and speak to the secretary, Mrs. Remijan.  Note: If you are choosing a “care option” as a dismissal option, you must sign up with the individual care provider PRIOR to using them as a dismissal option.

 

If you need to change your child's dismissal plan for a single day, this change MUST be in writing.  You may email the office at [email protected] by 10:00 am on the day that the change will occur or your child may drop a note first thing in the morning.  

 

 

EMERGENCY DISMISSAL PLAN

 

 

During online registration, at the beginning of the school year, you will choose how your child will be dismissed in case of an emergency school closing.

(weather related or other emergency reason). 

 

Please make note of this for your records. 

 

IF you need to change this at any time during the school year,

please call the school office at (219)531-3090 or email the secretary: [email protected].

 

In the event of an early dismissal, your child will be directed to the appropriate area of

dismissal based on your choice during registration.
