WCPS Early Dismissal Days: At Pemberton, we will start dismissal from 12:15 pm - 12:45 pm with our buses, within our Front Office, at the Walker Gate and at Car Riders. Please ensure that your child is picked up at this time and that someone is able to be at the bus stop to receive your child if your child is a Bus Rider. We thank you for your attention to this message. All early dismissals must be completed by 12:00 p.m on these days. Families needing to pick up a student before the end of the school day will need to report to the main entrance no later than 12:00 p.m. As a reminder, our Bus Loop is closed during arrival and dismissal as we must reserve the loop closest to the school for our buses only.
