Dear IRE families,
We are looking forward to seeing you soon. Taking into consideration feedback from our families, we have spent time this summer working on ways to improve our afternoon dismissal process. We want both pick up and drop off to be as smooth and safe as possible.
Starting this year, we are using School Dismissal Manager (SDM). School Dismissal Manager is a tracking system for afternoon dismissals. Using School Dismissal Manager, families will be able to quickly and easily update their child’s dismissal instructions without having to call or email our school.
An invitation from School Dismissal Manager will be sent to you soon and we ask you to download the app, and/or set up an account through a web browser before the first day of school. This will help us start the school year off smoothly.
We will begin using this new dismissal system on the first day of school, Aug. 31.
We recognize that this is a big change and we appreciate your patience and flexibility as we embrace this new system together. To support our families, we will be offering times to practice the new routine at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 28, 29 and 30. We will send out more information about the practice times soon.
You can visit our website to learn more. Please keep an eye out for the invitation email from School Dismissal Manager.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Nate Beede
Assistant Principal
