Dismissal and Early Pick-up

Dismissal on regular school days begins at 3:05 p.m. If you intend to pick up your child from school on a regular basis, please notify the Building and Operations Manager, Melissa Turner (Email), as soon as possible.

Changes in Transportation: Changes to dismissal on any given regular school day must be received by the office by noon. For half-days, by 10 a.m. To make a change, please call 717-334-3643.

Early Pick-up

Picking your child up prior to the end of the school day is discouraged as it can negatively impact their educational progress. Whenever possible, we ask that all appointments and activities be scheduled after school hours. Students who leave school early for any reason will be required to make up any missed work. Families must pick-up early dismissals prior to 2:45 p.m, or they must wait until regular dismissal for their child to be released.

When requesting an early dismissal, the parent/guardian must:

• Send a note with the student
• Report to the front office to sign the student out of the school
• Report to the office to sign the student back in if they are able to return
• Submit a doctor’s excuse, if applicable
