Campus After School
Dear BIS Parents,
I would like to gentle remind you of our dismissal procedures as they are written in our Parent & Student Handbook which are written below and also remind you that your children should never be on campus unless in a supervised activity or directly supervised by you (in close proximity to you). Please ensure that these important safety protocols are being followed and see either Principal or myself if you have any questions.
Dismissal Secondary
All secondary students must go home at the end of the school day unless:
• they have an After School Activity (ASA). All secondary students must go home at 4:00 pm unless they have a specific activity which extends past 4pm and is supervised by a teacher or coach. Teachers and coaches are responsible for students leaving the campus.
• they are waiting in the courtyard for a sibling who is in an ASA.
• they are staying with a teacher for after school support.
• they have teacher’s permission to work on a group project (supervised by teacher).
Dismissal Primary
• Please note that all primary students, Preschool through to Grade 5, must be picked up by their parent, guardian, pembantu, driver or secondary school sibling. No primary students will be allowed to leave the main campus if not accompanied by one of these individuals. The classroom teacher must beaware of who is picking up your child. Students may only remain on campus if they are involved in the after school programme or supervised by a school employee.
• Primary students (accompanied by parents), may play in the primary playground area next to the primary office. The playground is supervised by school employees until 3:15 pm on days when it is not being used for after school activities. No student should be in the playground when it is not supervised by school employees. Parents are asked to ensure this happens.
• If children have not been collected from the classroom by 3:00 pm because of some unforeseen delay, they are escorted to the primary cafeteria area by classroom assistants, where they can be picked up by adults to go home. Primary students who are waiting to be picked up are seated at allocated tables. At 3:15, students who have not been collected will be escorted to the late pick up area in frontof Grade 1.
• Students involved in after school activities are dismissed by activity supervisors when activities end. Parents or guardians must collect all primary students. This parental responsibility is fundamental to participation in the after school activity programme. If children are not collected by 4:00 pm, they are escorted to the pick up area in front of Grade 1.
Until the Courtyard is completed – If you are waiting to pick up siblings who are involved in the after school programme, then the shaded pick up point in front of first grade is available. Students may not be anywhere else on the school grounds unless they are supervised by school staff or ASA instructors.
Thank you for your support.
Have a good weekend.
Best,
Denise Walsh
Head of School
