Morning Drop-off and Afternoon Dismissal

Morning drop off is 7:10 am -7:40 am. The earliest drop off time is 7:10 am. There will not be adult supervision available prior to 7:10 am. School begins promptly at 7:40 am. Students are expected to have eaten breakfast (if they chose to eat breakfast at school), be in their classrooms and ready to engage in learning by 7:40 am.

Any students arriving after 7:40 am must have a parent sign them in at the front office and will be marked tardy.

Dismissal of 6th grade, 8th grade, and carpool begins at 2:35 pm. Dismissal of 7th grade students begins at 2:45. All students will need to be picked up by 3:10 pm.

We ask that you please be patient and follow the directions of staff members and campus police to ensure car rider drop off and pick up are safe for everyone.

Walkers will be dismissed at 2:45 PM daily and must immediately report to the cafeteria. From there, they will be escorted across Edgewater Avenue by school staff for their safety.

To assist with traffic flow, we have developed a color code system to designate car riders by grade level. Parents will be able to pick up their assigned color card at open house in the cafeteria. We ask that parents write their child's first and last name on the color card to display in your windshield during morning drop off and afternoon pick up.

Changes in Transportation?

Children Walking in Cross Walk

If your child’s method of getting home in the afternoon changes during the day – Please email your child at their students.sccpss.com address and include their 7th block teacher with the details of the afternoon’s change in transportation.

Phone Use During Outside Dismissal

Students on Cell Phones

To ensure a smoother and more efficient pick-up process, students are not allowed to use devices outside until they are off-campus or it is 3:00 PM. This policy, implemented last year, helps students remain attentive during dismissal. Students distracted by phones often miss hearing their names during the pick-up process.

If you need to contact your student regarding dismissal plans during the day, please use one of the following options:

  • Email: Send a message to their SCCPSS student email address and copy their 7th block teacher.
  • Text Message: Send a text prior to 2:35 PM. Students may approach their teacher and request to check for messages from you.

We greatly appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these procedures. By working together, we can ensure a safe, organized, and efficient dismissal process for all students.
