Dear SSES Families:
This is a reminder that Samuel Staples Elementary School will dismiss at 12:40 PM on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to accommodate Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Please take a moment to ensure that your child’s dismissal plans are entered accurately in School Dismissal Manager so we can support a smooth and safe transition at the end of each day. Students will have lunch during these shortened days; however, there will be no recess.
Our Spring Book Fair will be open to families during conference times. Please consider stopping by before or after your conference to explore teacher recommendations and classroom wish lists. The Book Fair will also remain open later on Wednesday, as needed.
To ensure a smooth and safe dismissal process:
-
Car line will begin at 12:30 p.m.
-
Buses will arrive at the same time, and we will begin calling buses as soon as car line dismisses.
- At 12:45 p.m., any remaining bus students will be brought to the cafeteria once car line has cleared.
For everyone's safety, we kindly ask parents not to approach the building during dismissal. Please wait in your car and away from the buses until dismissal is complete.
Families attending conferences may enter the building starting at 12:55 p.m., once all buses have cleared. You can walk right to your child's classroom at this time. There is no need to sign-in because the students will not be in the school.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a safe and efficient process for our students and staff.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Fox Santora, Principal
Christina Ulreich-Kean, Assistant Principal
