Central Middle School  

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Effective Monday, May 6, 2013 Central Middle School will begin using a new dismissal procedure. 

Dismissal will proceed as follows:

·         4:15 p.m.             Students in downstairs classrooms will be dismissed

·         4:18 p.m.             Students in the 500 & 700 wings will be dismissed

·         4:21 p.m.             Students in the 600 & 800 wings will be dismissed

·         4:25 p.m.             All school buses depart Central Middle School   

I am implementing this new procedure in order to improve the safety conditions for all students at dismissal time.  We currently have the majority of our student population boarding a school bus at 4:15 p.m.  The sheer number of students in the bus loop presents safety issues since the main exit to our bus loop is directly adjacent to a portion of our car loop. The very real possibility exists of a student inadvertently falling or being pushed into the car loop and being injured by a moving vehicle.  By staggering our dismissal times we will be able to move the students to the buses in smaller numbers in a safer and more efficient manner.   

If you plan to pick up your child please use the car loop instead of driving your car through the parking lot or waiting in the parking lot.  Either of these force students to cross the car loop traffic and increases the chances of an injury.  Our car loop begins on the east end of our campus, winds in front of the entire school, and exits on the west end of our campus past the gymnasium. There is sufficient room to accommodate the traffic we experience in the afternoon.  I ask that you line your vehicles up in two lanes and wait for your child to come to you.  If you arrive early please pull all the way forward to the end of the car loop to make room for others who arrive after you. 

I thank you for working with us as we implement this new procedure.  Our number one goal is always student safety.  With your help I know our school community can make this a success.  Please contact me at 321-722-4150 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

 James C. Kirk

Principal
