The
first day of school can be very stressful for children because of
the
large amount of information given out. Please share the following
information with your child. It will help make the day easier.
We
are open daily for students at 7:00 a.m. Please go directly to the lunch
arbor before school. The regular school breakfast is available at 7:10 a.m.
Classes start daily at 7:25 a.m.
On
the first day, there will be staff in the lunch arbor and in front of
the school. The staff will distribute flyers that will tell the students
which classrooms to report to when the bell rings at 7:25 a.m. Students will
receive their schedules in this class. Our teachers will also give a short
lesson about reading the school map, "A" and "B" days,
and passing periods.
At 7:45 a.m., a bell will ring and your child will go
to his/her first class. For those who are new to Pershing, older students
and staff will help you find your way to your classes. Families are
welcome to stay with their children until 7:50 a.m. Students
who are new to the school are usually comforted if their parents are able
to stay with them through this part of their first school day at Pershing.
Lunchtime
is from 10:36 to 11:06 a.m. A school lunch costs $2.25. Those children who qualify for free or reduced lunch will still
need to fill out paperwork, but they will receive their lunches until that paperwork is
processed. Parents may wish to pack a lunch for their children for the
first few days as this may be easier for a new student than purchasing
lunch.
Dismissal begins at 2:10 p.m. Students must be in our
PrimeTime Program or off-site by 2:25 p.m. If you are picking up your
child, please plan ahead and make arrangements to pick up your child in a
mutually agreed upon location. We strongly suggest the lot on the west
side of the school. The front of the school is not a safe place due to
the amount of traffic. Students must use the crosswalk.
The
PrimeTime
Program
will begin on the first day of school. You
may pick up a PrimeTime
registration form in the school office. Only students registered in PrimeTime may attend
this after school program.
