Dismissal Procedures

Dismissal

Afternoon Announcements & Dismissal Process for students begin at 4:00 P.M. Parents will use the “BDF Flash Pass” daily when picking up their child. Students in Grades K - 5 who are picked up by parents/Van services will be dismissed to the cafeteria via announcement. Students in grades 6 - 8 will report to the gym for pick up.  

• Please Note: Younger siblings will be with older siblings when being picked up by parents.
  • All students being picked up by car/van should be picked up by 4:10 P.M, no later than 4:20 P.M. each day. The appropriate agency will be contacted if an adult fails to meet the responsibility of picking up the student(s) on time. We will make every effort to contact a parent or the emergency designee. If a student misses the bus, it is the parent’s responsibility to pick the child up promptly.   

Important Note: Any person picking up a child who is not listed on the child’s pick-up list must provide an email or letter signed by the parent or legal guardian and a picture ID.

Early Dismissal for all students ends at 3:30 pm. If a student needs to be dismissed early from school, a written request (email or note) from a parent/guardian is necessary. No exceptions! The parent must come to the office and sign the early departure book and give the reason for the early dismissal. The office will then call the child to the office for dismissal. When possible, to limit students missing instruction, medical and dental appointments should be made outside of school hours.

Parents/guardians or other authorized adults will not be allowed to pick up a child without an ID.   

PLEASE DO NOT PICK UP STUDENTS FOR EARLY DISMISSAL BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 3:30 PM AND 4:10 PM.  CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IS COMING TO A CLOSE AND STUDENTS WILL BE PREPARING FOR DISMISSAL AFTERWARDS.
