Wednesday Grades K-8

All students will leave their classrooms at the dismissal bell and remain with their catechist outside of the school building. All children must stay with their catechist, and will not be permitted to stand with or pickup younger siblings. The young people will sit on the sidewalk by class.

Parents are asked to park their cars in the first row with cars facing toward the south. Children whose parents are in the FIRST ROW ONLY will be dismissed to their cars. Since the children may not move towards their car until they are directed with the megaphone phrase “Front row, front row only,” parents are asked to refrain from calling to their children until they have received that directive.

Once all cars in the first row are fully loaded, cars will be given the signal to pull out. The second row should begin to move forward into the front row as cars pull out. When the first row has pulled completely past the telephone area, the second row will be loaded in the same manner. The process will continue until all children have been dismissed.

If an extremely urgent situation will prevent you from picking up your child using the established dismissal process we have one option available for Wednesday parents only.

• Complete an Alternative Dismissal Form in the church or call the Religious Education Office at 407-834-2211 before 3:00PM on Wednesday.
• Park in front of the Saint Mary Magdalen School Office.
• Come to the south side of the breezeway (Cafeteria side).
• To ensure the safety of our children we will no longer be allowing parents on the sidewalk during dismissal. Your child will be brought to you.

While our dismissal procedure may seem inconvenient, we have evaluated many dismissal options and believe this is the safest and most efficient process for you and your children. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
