Dear Schuylerville Elementary families, We are very excited to welcome students for the 2023-24 school year! As you prepare for the transition back to school, please review our arrival and dismissal procedures. The health and safety of all students remains our number one priority each day. In an effort to support a safe and efficient arrival and dismissal process each day, we have outlined our procedures below. Please note: we are not allowing daily dismissal changes outside of emergency situations.

- Students will be dismissed from the program at 9:00 a.m.
- Walkers should prepare to arrive at school at 9:00 a.m. each morning.
- Parent drop off is between 8:55-9:00 a.m. each morning.

Dismissal

- All students can be picked up through the gym doors located between the student services doors and middle school main entrance.
- Adults picking up a student must be approved on the pick up list, show photo identification, and sign their child(ren) out. We appreciate your patience and understanding with our safety protocols.
- Students riding bus transportation home will be dismissed as their bus arrives out the elementary school main entrance. This process will take place between 3:00-3:20 p.m.
- Students attending the School’s Out Program (after school program) will be dismissed to the elementary cafeteria at 3:15 p.m.
