Dismissal – If you have a younger sibling who is in PreK, K or 1st grade, you go to

their waiting area for car-rider who is in 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade, they will wait

with their class by the multi-colored poles just like 5th gr. The teachers will show you where to sit to wait

who walks home with you, meet them in front of Central’s Library. Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Vosberg or Mrs. Huntsman will

walk you to your crossing guard. Keep your head UP & WATCH as you walk!

Things to REMEMBER• If you are not in your assigned place by 7:50, you

are TARDY (late). The side doors lock at 7:45. Go to the Main office and get a TARDY sticker to turn in to your 1st period teacher.

• More than 3 Tardies, you’ll receive After School Detention with Mrs. Salas.

• If you are Absent, you must have a NOTE when you come back. You are allowed THREE

Parent Notes each Semester (Semesters are Aug-Dec and Jan-May) After that, Notes must be from a Doctor. • Too many absences could require your parent attend the Truancy Diversion Program and/or could hold you back in the 5th grade. Attendance is a LAW!

Late Bus Riders will wait in my room until about 3:30, then we’ll walk down together.

If you have a younger sibling who rides the bus, too, you’ll see them in the bus line.

Tell an adult BEFORE you get on the bus if you do not see your sibling who is supposed to ride the bus with you.

If your sibling is little (PK-1st), ask the bus driver, politely, if you can sit with them. This should not be a problem

Late Bus Riders

Car-Riders Remember every car / person that

picks you up MUST have a Central Car-TAG visible in the Windshield

If not, the adult has to park, get out of the car, and check you out in the office. 3:30 and after – everyone gets picked up from the front

Things to REMEMBERPlayground/Recess Rules:• No Games that involve CHASING allowed!• Keep your hands/feet to yourself at ALL
