If any teacher is not able to supervise during students’ departure, another member of staff will be appointed.
Students enrolled and participating in an after-school activity will go from their classrooms to the cafeteria, gym, classroom or other designated area, where appropriate personnel will take attendance.

All children not enrolled in the after-school activity program should either go directly home, into vehicles picking them up or to their assigned buses, and are not to play on school grounds without parental supervision.
Any child who ordinarily is picked up at school by an adult will be sent or brought to the main office if the adult fails to collect the child at dismissal. They should not leave school grounds.
