Student Safety
Student Safety Reminder Our supervision of students begins when the doors open at 8:30 a.m., and the school day starts at 8:30 a.m. Students may arrive between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. After 8:45 a.m., all students must enter through the main front doors on Nicholson St. Any student arriving after 9:00 a.m. must stop at the main office to obtain a late pass. For safety reasons, please do not send your child to school before 8:30 a.m., as there is no staff supervision prior to that time. Playground Supervision & Dismissal Reminder Dismissal time is 3:15 p.m. Once your child is dismissed and picked up from their teacher, supervision becomes the responsibility of you or your designee. Please note: The playground is not supervised by school staff after dismissal. All children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult if they remain on school grounds. If your child is approved for "self-dismissal", remind them to walk directly home or to the location you have designated. Students should not remain on school grounds without an adult. DCPS requires all students who "self-dismiss" to have a signed permission slip on file in the main office. If you need a form for your student, please contact your child’s teacher or the main office at 202-722-5670. Buenas tardes, Familias de Brightwood Recordatorio de Seguridad para los Estudiantes Nuestra supervisión de los estudiantes comienza cuando las puertas se abren a las 8:30 a.m., y el día escolar oficialmente comienza a las 8:30 a.m. Los estudiantes pueden llegar entre las 8:30 a.m. y las 9:00 a.m. Después de las 8:45 a.m., todos los estudiantes deben entrar por la puerta principal de la calle Nicholson. Cualquier estudiante que llegue después de las 9:00 a.m. debe pasar por la oficina principal para obtener un pase de tardanza. Por razones de seguridad, por favor no envíe a su hijo(a) a la escuela antes de las 8:30 a.m., ya que no hay supervisión del personal antes de esa hora. Recordatorio sobre la Supervisión en el Patio de Juegos y la Hora de Salida La hora de salida es a las 3:15 p.m. Una vez que su hijo(a) sea entregado por su maestro(a), la supervisión pasa a ser responsabilidad de usted o de la persona que usted designe. Por favor tenga en cuenta: El patio de juegos no está supervisado por el personal de la escuela después de la salida. Todos los niños deben estar acompañados y supervisados por un adulto si permanecen en la escuela después de la salida. Si su hijo(a) tiene permiso de salida independiente, recuérdele que debe caminar directamente a casa o al lugar que usted haya designado. Los estudiantes no deben permanecer en la escuela sin un adulto. DCPS requiere que todos los estudiantes con permiso de salida independiente tengan un formulario de autorización firmado en la oficina principal. Si necesita un formulario para su hijo(a), comuníquese con el maestro(a) de su hijo(a) o con la oficina principal al 202-722-5670. |
