Ryerson Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Ryerson's arrival and dismissal plan for 2023-2024 remain the same as previous years.  Please adhere to the following plans/procedures.

ARRIVAL Procedure 

Students arriving at school by bus or by car will begin the arrival process at 8:35 am daily.  

Student arrival into the building is not permitted prior to 8:35 am due to limited supervision before this time.  

If you need an earlier drop-off for your child, you are encouraged to sign-up your child for the “Before School Program” through Madison Beach & Recreation.  Beach & Rec begins each morning on site at 7:00 am.  

All students being dropped off in the morning are to be dropped off at the lower parking lot by the flagpole.  A staff member will be at the flagpole ready to greet your child and safely escort him or her across the crosswalk.  There should be no cars entering the bus loading area during arrival time.  

DISMISSAL Procedure

Student dismissal at the end of the day will begin at 3:25 pm for both students being picked up and for students taking bus transportation home.  Pick-up time for all students begins at 3:25 pm.  

All families picking up their child at the end of the day will use the lower parking lot to line up and wait for their child to be delivered to their vehicle by a KHR staff member.  There should be no cars entering the bus loading area during dismissal time this year.

KHR families should have their KHR Parent Pick-up tag (the tag is included in your placement envelope) clearly visible and hanging from their rearview mirror.   Families are asked to remain in their vehicle and wait for their child to be brought to their car.  This will help us expedite this process and be as efficient as possible.  

If you do not have your KHR Parent Pick-up tag, you will be asked to park your vehicle and head to the main office for assistance with your child’s dismissal.  You must have your KHR Parent Pick-up tag or a designated person authorized to pick up your child must have the KHR Parent Pick-up tag in order for your child to be notified and dismissed. It’s important to stress that having your tag present will ensure a smoother process for you and all others during dismissal.. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding with this step in our process.  This is for the safety and security of all our students.  

If you are having another adult or an extended family member pick-up your child, please notify the main office (203-245-6440) and inform the office of the plan and the adult’s first and last name who has permission to pick-up your child.  Please let this authorized person know that they will be asked to show their valid license to a KHR staff member at dismissal for verification of your stated permission and before your child is dismissed to him or her. 

There is one tag provided for each family.  For families returning this year, your pick-up number will remain the same.  All families have been given one tag per household in their placement envelope for this school year.
