DISMISSAL POLICIES |
Submitted:Tuesday
August 28, 2007 |
|
ARS and the Statesville Police Department are working together to help relieve some of the traffic issues in the downtown area during our dismissal times. We are asking all parents to help us in the following ways:
-Pick up time runs from 2:45-3:15 each day. Please do not attempt to park in our driveway before 2:45. This is a public street and parking is not allowed until our dismissal begins. This also relieves a lot of buildup traffic that slows down the rest of our dismissal process.
-Only RIGHT turns into our driveway are allowed during this heavy traffic time.
-At this time, all traffic will turn LEFT onto Cooper Street as they exit the car line.
-No pickups are allowed without the student's dismissal number. If someone different is picking up your student, please make sure they have your student's number before entering the line, or they will be asked to park and walk in to pick up your student.
The Statesville Police Department is working with the City of Statesville to create new traffic patterns to help everyone working and living in the downtown area in the afternoons. Please keep your eyes and ears open for new information in the newsletters and on the webpage regarding changes to our pick up patterns.

ARS POLICY CHANGE |
Submitted:Saturday
August 18, 2007 |
|
As we begin our new school year, we are adjusting some of our afternoon dismissal and school policies to benefit both our teachers and students. We wanted to inform our parents of these important changes so that plans can be made accordingly before school starts.
1. Dismissal of all students will not begin this year until 2:45 pm. This is a change from 2:30 last year. This is to provide more instructional time at the end of our day. No cars will be allowed to pull in or park in the pick up line before this time. Dismissal will run from 2:45-3:15. Please remember that all cars MUST turn right into our dismissal driveway.
2. No student will be allowed to be signed out after 2:00 pm. If your student needs to leave early for any reason, they need to be signed out before 2:00 pm upstairs with Ms. Sandy Durham or picked up during our regular dismissal time.

During dismissal, we ask that all parents and students exit the building by using the downstairs dismissal area. No one should be using the upstairs door during this time. If you need to pick up your child early, you must see Ms. Sandy Durham and sign your child out for the day. If someone other than yourself needs to pick up your child, we must have a signed note from you telling us who is picking your child up. Thank you for your attention to these important details.

Effective August 20th, ice cream prices will increase to .75 per item. Cards will be sold for $7.50 for 10 punches. This increase is due to an increase in our price by the vendor. Cards left from last year will be used at last years' price, but any cards purchased after this date will be with the new price. Snack and ice cream cards will be available for purchase at Open House. Please make your checks payable to RAP. If your child would like to purchase snack from their class snack box, they must have a snack card. RAP does not accept loose change. Thank you for your continued support of our snack and ice cream fundraisers.
