LATE NOTICE
All late arrivals and early dismissals need to come through the elementary front office. The gate to the east lot is closed from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. for security purposes. Please enter through the main gate at the west entrance, pull through the cut through behind the Center for Innovation, and into the west lot to enter the ES office.
| US AFTER SCHOOL STUDY HALL |
Upper School students are welcome to remain on campus after dismissal. After school policies have been established to enable students to remain on campus and participate in athletic team practices/games and other supervised after school activities. No student will be allowed to "hang out" on campus unsupervised after dismissal.
Early Dismissal and Absences should now be recorded in Veracross. Log into your Parent Portal and click the "Submit an Absence" on the right hand side.
BEARSS AVE ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL MAP
Per your 2023-2024 CDS enrollment agreement, all Do Not Photo requests must be made to the CDS Marketing Department. If you do not want your child to be photographed during the school year please fill out the Do Not Photo request.
|
DISMISSAL REMINDERS |
CDS uses the PikMyKid app to help improve the flow of traffic during dismissal. By default, all children have been set up in the app to be picked up in carline. See page 3 of the PikMyKid Instruction packet to make adjustments to your child's dismissal plan. (These changes can be done daily or scheduled for a block of days.)
- Indicate if your child will be staying for aftercare.
- You can add other approved contacts to pick up your child. Be sure to have your non-CDS parent contacts (grandparents, nanny, etc.) set up the PikMyKid app on their smartphone as well.
- If your child is carpooling with another family, be sure to indicate that change on the applicable calendar date.
