Walkers/Bike Riders   Unescorted Walker/Bike Riders   Escorted Walkers   Early Dismissal   Severe Weather   Parking Lot Procedures  

We ask that parents please pick up their children as close to dismissal time as possible.  If any of our young people have not been picked up within 15 minutes of dismissal they will be brought to the Parish Office.

Dismissal for Walkers and Bike Riders

Because of our concern for young people walking and riding bikes through the parking lot, a special dismissal procedure will be used for them.  All young people who will be traveling home without parental or adult supervision must send written permission to the religious education office.  This information will be given to your child's catechist.  Any child without written permission to walk or ride a bike will be sent to the parish office to have their parent pick them upVerbal permission, either in person or over the phone, will not be accepted. All walkers and bike riders will receive a “Walker and Bike Rider Transportation Card.”  It should be stapled into their book for presentation to the Hall Monitors.

Dismissal for Unescorted Walkers and Bike Riders

All walkers and bike riders will be dismissed to the south side of the breezeway (cafeteria side) away from the church parking lot.

Dismissal for Escorted Walkers

To ensure the safety of our children we will no longer be allowing parents on the sidewalk during dismissal. Adults who escort their child home must wait at the breezeway. Your child will be brought to you.

Early Dismissal

Early dismissal from class on a regular basis is not permitted, as it is very disruptive.  However, if an extraordinary circumstance requires your child to leave early, a note must be sent to the catechist.  In addition, an Early Dismissal Form needs to be completed in church prior to class.  (For your convenience you may also contact the Religious Education Office at 407-834-2211 before 3:00PM on Wednesday or Friday.)  A Hall Monitor will bring your child to you. No children will be dismissed to meet parents in the parking lot.

Severe Weather Pickup

In the event of severe weather (such as a Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, etc.) please proceed to the covered breezeway.  A Hall Monitor will bring your child to you.
