    Check Out:

    • Per District Policy, students are not allowed to be checked out after 45 mins prior to the end of the day. 2:45 PM is the latest time you can check students out on regular school days and 1:00 PM on Early Dismissal days.

     

    As an increased safety measure and an effort to reduce wait time in the student pick-up area, the outlined procedures should be followed:

    • Each family will be provided with a Venetia car hanger during Orientation and/or the first day of school.  
    • Your child’s first and last name as well as grade level should be printed on the car hanger in large block letters with a permanent black marker. 
    • The car hanger, with the child’s name, should be placed on the rear-view mirror of the vehicle when picking a student up after school.
    • As cars approach the student pick-up area, an assigned adult will alert the student by calling his/her name.  The student will proceed to the designated boarding area to be dismissed.  Please refrain from blowing your horn to get your child’s attention.  
    • The car hangers have been provided to us by local businesses.  Please keep them in a safe place for daily use.  Cars without hangers will have to park & report to the main office and show ID to pick-up your child.  Replacement car hangers may be obtained in the main office for $2. The parent or guardian is the only person that can also purchase additional tag(s) for other family members.
