Delmar Student Handbook 26-27

Data Form/Emergency Contact Information Student data forms need to be completed each year. To help us keep every child safe and supported, please complete and return the Student Data form as soon as possible. Accurate, up-to-date emergency contact information is essential, so we ask that you notify the school of any changes to your family, household, or address and provide updated residency documentation whenever you move. Copies will be sent home with students; an additional copy of the form can be found here. PLEASE COMPLETE ALL INFORMATION ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE FORM, AS WELL AS SIGN FOR EACH CHILD YOU HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL. All updates to our electronic student information must be accompanied by a new data form. No updates can be made without a signed and dated data form. Dismissal Dismissal begins at 2:45 p.m. with classes preparing and packing up at 2:40pm. Students dismiss by way of walkers, car riders, and buses at separate locations. Students will not be dismissed from the office during dismissal unless it is an emergent circumstance that has been approved by administration. Car riders will not be dismissed through the front office. All students will be dismissed by either car riders, buses or walkers. All dismissal changes must be submitted in writing to the office at delmardismissal@mywcps.org. The dismissal note must include the child’s name, homeroom teacher, and the change to transportation including the first and last name of the person picking up. We will not accept verbal messages from students or parents about dismissal changes. All changes need to be submitted by 1:00pm. Please note that the office may request photo identification from any individual picking up children. Delmar Elementary has three dismissal locations: • Car Riders o The vehicle picking up through the car rider loop on Foskey Ln. must have the car tag displayed. o PK-2 students will wait for their vehicles in the gymnasium. 3rd-4th will wait in the gated and fenced in area next to the car rider loop. In the event of inclement weather, 3rd-4th will wait in the interior hallway by the gym exit. o Students will be called by number to their vehicle. • Bus Riders o School staff will walk students to the buses on the bus loop at dismissal – this ensures that students are getting on to their appropriate buses. o Third Wave buses will wait in the Media Center until their buses arrive and then be called down to the Bus Loop. o All buses follow the Wicomico County Public Schools Transportation policy and procedures including bus conduct referrals. • Walkers o Walkers will be picked up at the cafeteria exit. Parents/guardians will bring their tag with them indicating their walker number and students will then be released. o Parents/guardians are asked to stay to the left of the stations used at the walker exit as upper grade level students will be using that lane to walk to their buses. Please note that ALL STUDENTS must be picked up by or before 3:15 p.m.
