AFTERNOON DISMISSAL
We utilize the Pick Up Patrol System to ensure the safety of students and efficiency of our dismissal procedures. Please read the letter below to set up your dismissal account:
Transportation by Bus
Each day, staff members will escort your child safely to the correct bus at dismissal.
Dismissal by Car
Print your child’s name in large bold letters on a piece of paper and place it in the front window of your car. Line up your car along Fardale Avenue in front of George Washington School. Pull your car up as close to the main entrance of the school as possible. Your child will be escorted to your car. *Please do not pull into or park in the designated bus parking areas. Do not get out of the car when picking up your child.*
Hand to Hand Pick Up
If you wish to park and pick up your child at school, please park in the lot adjacent to the soccer field on Chapel Road or in the lot off of Bartholf Lane. You may then walk up the back pathway and pick up your child at the rear entrance next to the all-purpose room.
