ARRIVAL
School begins promptly at 8:15am. It is extremely important for children to be ON TIME. Children line up and wait on the sidewalk in front of their homeroom sign. Only children and staff are permitted on the sidewalk.
DISMISSAL
Dismissal is at 3:00pm sharp, unless your child is enrolled in the Passport to Learning (PTL) district aftercare program. 9th period teachers will dismiss children at the designated homeroom spot only to someone authorized to pick up the child (as designated in the Connors Parent/Student Information Google Form 2024-2025 completed at the beginning of the year). The pickup person must ALWAYS connect with the child’s teacher before taking the child from the line or the dismissal area. Only children and staff are permitted on the sidewalk.
Where will my child line up for arrival and dismissal? Where should I stand / wait?
Please review the below graphic for Arrival and Dismissal line-up locations by homeroom. Parents should not walk on the sidewalk on 2nd street directly adjacent to Connors, as this is where the children are lining up. We kindly ask that parents wait on 2nd Street during morning arrival and afternoon pickup. Please note: 2nd Street is closed off to traffic during arrival and dismissal.
Who can pick up my child?
Parents MUST fill out the Connors Parent/Student Information Google Form 2024-2025 to designate which individuals are allowed to pick up your child.
Can my child self-dismiss?
Children in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade may walk home independently with parent permission during regular dismissal time. As part of our district protocol, children may NOT self dismiss from the Passport to Learning aftercare program. Parents MUST fill out the Connors Parent/Student Information Google Form 2024-2025 to designate if your child is allowed to self dismiss.
What if my child is signed up for Passport to Learning (PTL), the district aftercare program?
All children that are signed up for Passport to Learning (PTL), will be escorted to PTL by their 9th period teacher. Children will be dismissed from PTL through the Connors main doors on Monroe Street. Learn more about the Passport to Learning aftercare program in the corresponding section within this manual.
What time is an early dismissal?
Please note that all district early dismissal days as listed in the district calendar are a 1:00pm pickup.
