After School Reminder:

With the weather getting nicer, we want to ensure that dismissal remains safe, smooth, and respectful for everyone.

✅ Playground Expectations To help avoid congestion during dismissal, we ask that the playground remain clear from 2:45 to 2:55 PM. This short window allows students to safely: Walk or bike home Locate their bus Meet up with their ride Students who would like to stay and play after school should first check in with their parent/guardian and wait until 2:55 PM before returning to the playground under parent supervision.

🚫 Please Note: We've received feedback from Southwest Middle School that elementary students playing on the grassy area and basketball court near their building are causing disruptions after school. Since Southwest is still in session until 3:05 PM and many classroom windows are open, outside noise easily carries into their learning spaces.

To help maintain a respectful learning environment for our neighbors, we ask that elementary students on the Southwest campus go directly to their rides or begin walking home after dismissal. However, if a parent is present and supervising, students are welcome to play on the football field, away from the building.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping dismissal safe, respectful, and well-organized for all students!
