• Arrival Procedures

    PES doors are opened at 7:45 a.m.  The earliest time for a student to be dropped off is 7:45 am. This is extremely important, if your child is dropped off earlier, there is not any supervision.  Supervision begins at 7:45 a.m.to guarantee that every student is safe. Please use the front (east side) of the school by the flag poles when dropping off your child in the mornings.  The tardy bell rings at 8:25 a.m. It is critical that all students are in their classrooms ready for the day’s instruction by this time.

    Dismissal Procedures

    Students are dismissed from their classrooms at 2:50 p.m.  Our dedicated teachers definitely maximize the instructional time throughout the day.  They teach right to the dismissal bell.  When a student leaves early, they are missing a vital part of their education.

    Early Pick-Up

    Whenever possible, please schedule your child’s appointments outside of school hours.  However, if you must pick up your child during the school day, please note the procedural guidelines:


    Parents who must sign their children out during the school day must do so through the front office. Children who have dental appointments, doctor appointments, etc. will be called to the office, where they will be officially signed out by the parent or the adult authorized in writing by the parent.  At no time should parents go to the classroom to remove their child as this violates our safety policies.

    Transportation

    Your child’s safety while traveling to and from school is of great importance to us.  To ensure his/her safety, please notify the teacher of the method by which your child will arrive and depart, i.e., walker, biker, car rider, or bus rider.  If it is necessary to change methods (even for a day), you must notify the teacher in writing or your child will travel as previously arranged.
