Policies

School Day

The school day begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:10 pm. Students are allowed in the building at 8:15 am. There is no supervison of students prior to 8:15 am.

Students are late after 8:30 am. Students arriving late will receive a tardy pass unless they are “bus tardy” in which case an announcement will be made that students on a particular bus arrived late and could not make it to class on time.

Early Release

No student will be released to anyone other than a parent or guardian without the parent or guardian’s consent and proper identification. Parents or guardians coming to pick up a student must check in with the office and the student will be called to the office on the intercom.

School Dismissal

School dismissal each day is at 3:10PM.  On the first day of school, please ensure that your child knows how s/he is getting home. If there is any change to the regular determined bus or walker routine, a note from a parent must be sent including the departure change and a phone number. No exceptions. Safety is our priority at the Warren Prescott K-8 School. We ask that all parents wait outside during dismissal.  It is essential that we keep the foyer area clear. Thank you for your understanding.
