Gainfield Elementary School

Gainfield School is concerned for the safety of your child. Written notes informing the teacher of a change to your child’s daily dismissal routine are required when your child arrives in class. The classroom teacher then forwards the note to the school office.

Keep in mind that there may be a substitute in the classroom or the office that day. Provide the following information in your note and DO NOT including information regarding other issues. Dismissal pads are available from the PTO for $2.

• Date
• Teacher's Name
• Child's First and Last Name
• Explain type of dismissal
• Parent's signature

Faxed notes and phone calls should be made for family emergencies only before 3:00 p.m. Emails should not be used as an alternative means of sending pick up notes. If you are picking up your child, you must do so before 3:15 p.m. In order to prepare for the end of the day to ensure all students are dismissed safely, students may not be picked up between 3:15 and 3:30 p.m. Please note: this is a new policy this year.

Remember, all pick ups during the day and at dismissal require a note. Early pick up students will be called to the office when parents arrive. Calling into classrooms ahead of time is disruptive to the instruction environment.
