Pick Up Changes for March 14 and 15

Due to parent conferences, on Thursday, March 14 and Friday, March 15, students in grades K-3 will be dismissed at 12 pm. The preschool will operate normal hours.

A reminder of our dismissal procedure on early release (for K-3) days:

• If you are picking up ONLY your preschooler: Please drive through the STAFF parking lot (not the regular parking lot because you will get stuck) and line up your car parallel to the staff cars parked in the parallel parking spots. Preschool staff will dismiss your children to your car.

• If you are picking up your preschooler AND other students in grades K-3, please send in a note letting your child's teacher know that your child will be picked up at 12:00, if that is not a normal procedure for your family.  At noon, your preschooler will be brought to the pick-up line to be picked up. Please use the Steward School pick-up line, through the circle, to pick up your child if they have any siblings in grades K-3 that you are picking up.

Steward Preschool Updated Snow Policy SNOW DAY POLICY We have updated our Snow Day Policy.  Please read the updated policy below. ONE-HOUR DELAY: All preschool programs, including Preschool Extended Day Programs, will open one hour later than their usual start time. TWO-HOUR DELAY: All 3-hour 9-12 morning preschool programs are cancelled. The 4-hour, 9-1 program for our 4-year olds will operate with the two-hour delay, opening at 11:00 and ending at 1 pm. The 5 hour, 9-2 program for our intensive needs 3 and 4 year olds will operate with the two-hour delay, opening at 11:00 and ending at 2pm. For those families accessing our early morning Preschool Extended Day program, we will have a two-hour delay and will open this program at 9:00.  For 3 year old children who access our afternoon Extended Day program with either a 2:00, 3:15, or 4:30 dismissal the program will be operating from 11-4:30.  3 year olds who typically attend class from 9-12 and then Lunch Bunch from 12-1 SHOULD NOT report to school. SCHOOL CANCELLATION BEFORE THE SCHEDULED CLOSE OF SCHOOL: While this is an unusual event, there are occasions when the weather conditions are such that it is deemed necessary to close school before the normal end of the school day time. Announcements of an early school closing will be made using public media and our Black-Board Connect messaging system.  Parents will be required to come to the school at the early closing time to pick up their child and there will be no Preschool Extended Day Programs that afternoon.
