Arrival & Dismissal S.O.A.R Expectations

The arrival and dismissal expectations help students understand how to begin and end their school day in a safe, respectful, and organized way. During arrival, students are expected to enter the building calmly, follow staff directions, go directly to their designated area, and be prepared to start the day. During dismissal, students are reminded to listen carefully for instructions, stay in assigned areas, and follow established procedures for buses, car riders, or walkers. These routines are designed to keep all students safe while ensuring that transitions are smooth and efficient.

Families can support these expectations by reinforcing consistent routines at home and reviewing dismissal plans with their children so they feel confident about where to go each day. Emphasizing the importance of listening to adults, staying aware of surroundings, and following procedures helps students stay safe during these busy times. Clear communication between families and the school also plays an important role in ensuring that arrival and dismissal run smoothly for everyone.
