Subject: Clarification Regarding Today’s Dismissal

Dear Kindergarten Parents and Guardians,

I want to take a moment to address a situation that occurred at dismissal today, August 19th, which understandably caused concern for some of our families.

This afternoon, a kindergarten student was signed in to our after-school program instead of being dismissed directly to their parents. The student was always supervised and safe—our staff members accompanied the student at all times. The student was reunited with their parents approximately ten minutes after dismissal.

We recognize how distressing this moment felt and apologize for the confusion it caused. Please know that your child’s safety is our highest priority. We have reviewed our dismissal procedures with our after-school staff to prevent this from happening again and to ensure that every child is dismissed according to parent expectations.

Thank you for your patience during dismissal. Lines are currently moving a bit slower as our teachers learn to recognize each family and ensure a safe, personal handoff. As routines become familiar, the process will move more quickly.

We appreciate your trust and patience as we continue working together to keep all of our students safe. If you have any questions or would like to discuss our dismissal process further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you for your understanding and continued partnership.

Warm regards,

Andrew Candelaria
Principal
