9:10 a.m. to 3:25 p.m.                        Monday through Friday

Arrival and Dismissal
The bell rings at 9:10 AM.  Staff members will be on duty to assist students as they arrive on foot, car or bus.  All students should use the door on Centre Street to enter the school prior to 9:25.  After 9:25, students should enter the school through the front door and check in at the office. 
Please note that there will be no formal supervision of students who arrive outside of the school before 9:10.  All students should be in their classrooms before 9:25.   Parents of young children or of those needing assistance may leave their children at the door or escort them to the classroom up until 9:25.

K1 through Grade 2 students who are being picked up at 3:25 will be dismissed through the front door on Dorchester Ave.  Grade 3 through 5 students will be dismissed through the Centre St. door closest to Dorchester Avenue.   Students boarding buses will be waiting with staff members and will leave through the rear Center St. door.

In order to maximize the instruction of all students, parents should not be in the classrooms between the hours of 9:25 - 3:25 unless an appointment has been scheduled.

Please follow the arrival and dismissal schedule so that your child will be adequately supervised and receive a full day of instruction.  If your child has an appointment and needs to arrive late or leave early, please send a note or call the school in the morning. Unless it is an emergency or arrangements have been previously made, students will not be dismissed right before the regular dismissal time since teachers need to ensure that all children are ready.  In order to ensure the safety of all students, please refrain from calling the school to request alternative dismissal plans after 3 PM.

*Please note that no one should park in the bus zone, crosswalk, or other illegal areas for reasons of student and public safety.  Also, please follow the directions of the police officer assigned to manage traffic at arrival and dismissal time.
