Arrival and Dismissal
Please note that we are anticipating a much higher volume of car riders and walkers at Bowles. Our arrival and dismissal procedures have been adopted in order to help to safely and efficiently welcome and dismiss our students each day. I very much appreciate your help in maintaining our arrival and dismissal procedures.
Arrival Times for Students
Students are allowed to enter the school at 8:50 a.m. if they are eating breakfast. All other students may enter at 8:56 a.m. Prior to this student arrival time, teachers prepare for students and attend staff meetings. No supervision is available for students. If your child attends Adventure Club, they may enter the building earlier.
Dismissal
The school office and your child's teacher need a note for any change in a student’s dismissal. For example, if your child is walking home instead of taking the bus home, we must have a note from you. Also, please inform us if you intend to pick your child up at the end of the day. Kindergartners will need to be met at their bus stop or at the crosswalk by a parent/guardian/sibling in 4th grade or higher.
Early Dismissal and Late Arrivals
Sometimes it is necessary for a parent or guardian to pick up a child during the school day for dental or doctor appointments, etc. In such circumstances, parents or guardians must check-in at the office and sign the student out. Students who are returned to school after their appointments, or students who are driven to school and arrive after the start of the school day, must have their parents or guardians sign them in.
