Arrival Dismissal & Attendance

Morning Arrival at Warren Street

• All elementary buildings will open doors at 7:20 a.m. There is NO supervision for students prior to 7:20 a.m. Do not drop off students prior to 7:20 a.m.
• All students not riding a bus should arrive between 7:20 – 7:45 a.m. and  enter the main doors by the office in front of the building.
• Bus students will be dropped off in the back parking lot of JJSHS (near tennis courts). Students will enter Warren through the back doors near the gymnasium.
• Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria. Students eating breakfast will remain in the cafeteria until they are done.
• All students that are not eating breakfast will go to the gym until 7:50 a.m. At 7:50, all students will be released to their classrooms.
• Announcements will begin at 8:00 a.m.
• Arrivals after 8:00 a.m. must be signed in at the front door main office and receive a late pass. Arriving to school on time will help your child be prepared for the day of learning ahead. Students need time in the morning to hang up their belongings, get their materials ready, and get settled into their day.
• When there is a two hour delay at the elementary school level, school starts at 10:00 a.m. and no breakfast is served.

Afternoon Dismissal at Warren Street

• Bus Students: Will be released to the gym or cafeteria at approximately 2:25 p.m. to wait for their bus.  The bus will pick up students in the parking lot at the high school (same as arrival).  School support staff will escort students to the bus pick up location.
• Walkers/Riders: Each grade level is dismissed from their own designated door. Each grade level will have support staff assisting and supervising students:
  • 2nd Grade– Side Loop
  • 3rd Grade– Front of building down by the gym
  • 4th Grade– Front of building in the middle of the building
• Please help us keep all students safe by making dismissal changes by 12:00 p.m. each day by phone or with a note. Late dismissal changes sometimes leads to a more chaotic dismissal. Do NOT ask us to make dismissal changes after 12:00 p.m. unless it is an emergency. Our goal is to dismiss all students safely each day. We appreciate your help! Please be sure the office, the transportation office, and your child are all aware of your dismissal preferences.
• Please do NOT enter the bus loop during dismissal time.
• Parents/guardians are not permitted to come down to classrooms during dismissal. If you have a scheduled appointment with your child’s teacher, please come into the office after dismissal and sign in.
• If you have a child at both Pleasant Avenue and Warren Street, please pick up your child at Pleasant Avenue before picking up your child at Warren Street.

Late Arrivals, Early Dismissals & Absences

New York State Education Law requires a written excuse, signed by a parent or guardian, be provided when a student is absent, tardy, or leaving school early. Please send an excuse to school with your child if he/she is tardy or needs to be dismissed early, and on the day your child returns to school after being absent.

Parents/guardians must sign-in/out students arriving late or leaving early.
