Early Dismissal Procedures
 
 
In the event of an early closing, the parent/caregiver will receive a call. Early closing information will also be on Channel 34 and the district’s website, www.livingston.org.
 
For the safety of all students and in the interest of maintaining order, please wait until the 12:15 p.m. dismissal to pick up your child at the designated area.
 
Please send a note if you would like to give permission for your child to walk home. We will attach it to the emergency card and pass it along to the PTA.
 
As a reminder there is no extended day coverage when there is an emergency/early dismissal, and there will be no lunch period. Students will have snack in their classrooms.
 
Children whose parents/caregivers have not been contacted will be instructed to remain in the building until such contact is made.
 
The dismissal of the Kindergarten will proceed as it would on any other school day, through the Kindergarten Doors.  All other grades will be dismissed through their regular doors onto the blacktop.
 
Children will be escorted by faculty/staff onto the blacktop and will wait at the doors to ensure that no child is left. All building doors will remain open for a reasonable period of time in the event that a child needs to re-enter the building. Children will be instructed to return to the building if a parent/caregiver has not arrived as anticipated. Although we will be speaking with the children regarding this process, it is important that you review with them some important facts including:
A. Will they walk home or will someone pick them up?
B. Who will pick them up?
C. Where should they meet that person?
This will go far in ensuring that the dismissal runs as smoothly as possible.  Thank you.
