Arrival and Dismissal

SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS TO KEEP STUDENTS SAFE: parents should not walk their kids up to the doors by the cafeteria during arrival  (7:30-8:00) OR walk to pick their child up at the cafeteria doors during dismissal time. (3:20)

HENDERSON DOORS 

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Parents should NOT, under any circumstances, park their cars on Henderson. After meeting with the City of Dallas it was determined that the parking spots on Henderson should ONLY be utilized outside of school hours. 

ARRIVAL

• In order to keep our students safe- we are asking any parents who will be walking their kids up to the building use the Henderson doors.

  • The only entrances available on Henderson for arrival drop-off are: the doors by the tennis courts and the center doors.

To allow time for teachers to attend Sisterhood Circle at 8:00am the doors on Henderson will close and all remaining parents should expect to utilize the carline.

DISMISSAL

To ensure a smooth dismissal for our growing family we ask that you read these dismissal notes carefully. 

PRE-K and KINDER HENDERSON DISMISSAL

PK and Kinder classes will be dismissed at 3:05pm until further

• Doors closest to the Tennis courts: Pre-K and Kinder

• If parents have a pre-k or kinder student who they would like to be dismissed with their older sibling at the center or Manett doors, please make this request by filling out the dismissal change form and letting your child's teacher know. Older students may not be dismissed with Pre-k and K.

• For walkers dismissal, we are asking that parents also utilize their carline numbers to ensure student safety. If you are picking up another scholar, other than your own, you must have their carline number or written communication from their parent agreeing to the pick-up. 

• Written communication must be provided for any scholars allowed to walk off campus by themselves. Please email donwhite@dallasisd.org. . 

CARLINE 

• We will be using a temporary system for the first few weeks until details are finalized for the newly purchased program that we'll be implementing this school year. We appreciate your patience!

• All families must have their carline number in order to pick up their scholars. You may pick up your carline number from the front office if you have not gotten it

• In order to keep the carline and bus arrival running smoothly please do not walk up to the front of the building between 7:30-8:00a.m. 

Please watch this brief video for car line expectations:

OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE REACHED OUT AND ARE ASKING FOR SOME HELP. When you are in carline on Henderson, please refrain from stopping in front of a driveway or street access to Henderson in order to maintain the ability of our neighbors to get in and out of their homes. 

Parents are the most important role models for our students. Help us model leadership, empathy and self-awareness during our arrival and dismissal by respecting our safety expectations.
