General dismissal for grades Kindergarten through eighth is 3:15 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday. All students will be dismissed in the back parking lot.

Students (Grades Kindergarten through Eight) who attend St. John’s Day Care will be picked up in the back of the school (black top area) by a member of the Day Care staff. 

Students and parents will be involved in the after-school pick-up cycles in the back of the school (black top area). All students are to exit through the north door onto the playground. The only exceptions are those who wait by the office for a day-care van.  Parents are asked to form three lines to wait for children being dismissed. No child is permitted to play on the school grounds before or after school. Once students have been dismissed from school, they are to walk to the appropriate dismissal area. Here, they will wait until their last name is called to meet their transportation or walk to a destination pre-arranged by the parents (this destination cannot be on school or parish property!). Once students have entered their transportation vehicle, they may NOT go back into the building to retrieve missing items! This makes the process much smoother. Parents will need to drive to 25th Street, park in a LEGALLY acceptable parking space, and have their child enter the school. 

By School ADVISORY COUNCIL mandate and for safety reasons, we cannot allow children to wait for their rides in front of the school. Due to the lack of personnel available, supervised pick-up is limited to the playground black top area at the back of the school only.

We, as a school, are responsible for students until 3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and until 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and teacher supervision is available until that time. If you have not picked up your child by the designated times, then your child will be dropped off at the after school program. If you have not registered, you will be charged the $50.00 registration fee and the hourly rate.
