Simmons Winter Break Countdown Calendar- Student Edition
Let's have a little fun during the month of December!
Inclement Weather Dismissal Procedures ☔❄️🌨️
Hello Parents/Guardians,
In the event of inclement weather at dismissal time, our K-5 teachers will escort parent pick up students out the front, main entrance by grade level where they will meet with their parents/guardians. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will be dismissed first starting at approximately 3:05pm followed by a staggered dismissal, in grade order, for 2nd-5th grade students. Our preschool students will follow the normal time and location procedures for dismissal.
We ask you to be patient with this dismissal process, as it will take a little longer to make sure each child gets to their parent safely. Announcements will be made over the PA system so you can hear what grade levels are being dismissed next. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions/clarifications.
Thank you,
Mrs. Fragoso
