Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Arrival Procedures - Arrival commences at 8:35 a.m. 

To ensure a safe and smooth arrival for all students, we are making some adjustments to our morning drop-off procedure effective Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

Please review the following guidelines carefully:

  • 8:35 - 8:45 a.m.:  Drop and Go will take place in the front circle of the building in the Bus Loop.  Please make sure your child is seated on the right hand side of the vehicle so they can safely exit onto the sidewalk.  A staff member will be present to assist with carrying items into the building if needed.
  • 8:45 - 9:00 a.m.:  Student drop-offs will take place at the parent drop off location in the lower parking lot.  Again, please ensure your child is on the right hand side of the vehicle for a safe exit.
  • Please follow the designated traffic flow patterns at all times.
  • Do not exit through the one-way entrance.
  • Do not walk your child across the parking lot.  Please use the designated drop-off areas only.

All students will be directed to the cafeteria for breakfast with supervision until 9:00 a.m. (or until they finish eating). The school day starts at 9:05 am.

=======

Dismissal Procedure - Dismissal begins at 3:20 p.m.

  • Students taking the bus will be escorted by their classroom teacher to their designated bus.
  • Please park in the designated parent pick-up parking area located near the softball field. 
  • Please do not park on the entry road.  This is designated as  a "No Parking" zone.
  • Parent pick-up is from 3:20 to 3:40 p.m. Parents must notify us by emailing parentnotes@pcsdny.org no later than 2:00 p.m. to communicate any changes to your child’s dismissal.  Please refer to the online Parent/Student handbook for further details.
  • Regardless of whether your child’s pick-up schedule remained the same as last year, it is essential that you email the main office with the necessary parent notes. 
  • The location and procedure for parent pick-up will remain the same ~ the back entrance near the primary playground. 
  • Please remember to bring your driver's license or identification.
