Dear Schuylerville Elementary School families,
We hope this letter finds you well and your family is enjoying the summer months! The purpose of this correspondence is to ensure our records are up to date for the 2025-26 school year and inform you of important events.
Kindergarten Placements
Kindergarten classroom teacher placement letters will be mailed to all incoming kindergarten families on August 6.
Dismissal Information
Daily Dismissal Form
The Daily Transportation Form was to be completed by all families by August 1 through Parent Square. If you did not complete the form, please email Missy Germain at germainm@schuylerville.org and request a paper copy of the Daily Dismissal Form no later than August 20. Please feel free to make an appointment to complete the form in the office; it shouldn’t take longer than five minutes to complete. As the year progresses and you need to make permanent dismissal changes for your child, please contact dismissal at 518-695-3255 ext.1225, or email: esattendance@schuylerville.org.
Walkers
If your child is going to be a walker, they will be dismissed at 3:03 p.m. from their classroom and exit the building through the main entrance doors. It is important to note: walkers are considered students who will be leaving the elementary building and walking to their scheduled destination. To eliminate traffic congestion, we are asking parents/guardians not to drive on campus to meet their walkers. Parents/guardians can choose to meet their child at an agreed-upon off-campus location, which may or may not be the home. Kindergarten students are not allowed to be dismissed as walkers for safety reasons (this is also the case for unexpected early release incidents.) Kindergarten students who live within walking distance of the school will be released as pickup students each day for dismissal.
Pickup Students
If your child is a pickup student, they will be dismissed from the elementary gymnasium beginning at 3:05 p.m. These students will need to be signed out by a parent/guardian. Photo identification is required by the person signing out a student as a safety protocol. Parents/guardians will be required to wait outside while we dismiss each child. One parent/guardian will be permitted inside the door at a time.
Bus Transportation
If your child is going to be dismissed via bus transportation, they will be dismissed by their grade level between 3:15 p.m. and 3:20 p.m. from their classroom and exit the building through the main entrance doors. Please remember that any student needing to be picked up during the day should be signed out at the main office no later than 2:15 p.m. unless there is an emergency. Additionally, students should not be arriving at school before 8:50 a.m. unless they are enrolled in the Before School Program or scheduled activity. Students who arrive before 8:50 a.m. will wait outside the building at the main entrance. Doors will open at 8:50 a.m. and close at 9:10 a.m. We encourage all students to arrive by 9:00 a.m.
We must have updated contact information for families and emergency contacts on file. Please email Missy Germain germainm@schuylerville.org with any updates to addresses and/or phone numbers.
