Daily Schedule

• School doors open at 7:15 a.m. daily

• Students are counted as tardy at 7:55 a.m.

• When students are tardy they miss important morning announcements and class community-building activities that occur before instruction begins.

• If your child arrives after 8:05 a.m., they must be brought inside by whoever drops them off.

• Dismissal is at 3:20 pm

Please wear dismissal tags every day for the first two weeks of school. We will provide them on the first day of school for those who do not have one.

If your child is a car rider:

• Please remain in your cars during drop-off and dismissal.

• Keep the orange tag with your child's number hanging from the review mirror when you are in the line.

• If you do not have an orange tag with your child's number, you must come inside and present a valid ID.

• Please be patient the first few days as we try to get our system to be as efficient as possible while still ensuring students' safety

If your child is a walker:

• You may meet them by the doors near the bus ramp.

• If your student is in PreK or Kinder, the person picking them up must have a placard and meet at the door by the buses near the marquee. A staff member will release the student upon seeing the appropriate placard. If you do not have a placard, you will be asked to come to the front office to check your valid ID.

If your child attends daycare:

• They are dismissed at 3:20 to the receiving daycares.

• Daycares come past the buses to the back circle drive.

• All daycare students should be picked up by 3:40. If a daycare arrives after 3:40, the students must be picked up in the front office.

If your child is a bus rider:

• If they are a kindergartener with a red tag, please make sure you are at the bus stop with the appropriate placard to pick up your child. There are new placards for the 24-25 school year. If someone is not there with the placard, the student will be returned to Chambers to be picked up in the front office with a valid photo ID.

• Kindergarteners with a green tag, will be allowed to leave the bus with their older sibling.

• All bus riders must have a Smart tag attached to their backpacks to ride the bus. If your student loses their bus tag, there is a $5 replacement fee.

  ​

• ​Security checks-Administrators perform daily safety checks of the inside and outside of our building and its perimeter

• Visitor Procedures-all visitors must enter through the front office and provide their identification in order to enter the building

• Monthly Drills-Chambers staff and students participate in monthly drills to ensure we are familiar with our standard response protocols

• Cameras-Chambers is equipped with indoor and outdoor cameras

• Security Badges-Every staff member is assigned, and carries, a wearable device for rapid incident response

• "See something, say something"-all students and staff are taught to report suspicious behavior either witnessed, in person, or on social media

As always, thank you for entrusting us with your children every day. Together we can create a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment for all students.

The best way to communicate with your child's teacher is through ClassDojo. Please make sure to connect during Meet the Teacher night so you don't miss out on important information! We look forward to partnering with you to help your child have a successful school year!

At Chambers Elementary, we have been busy learning about good character- what it means and why it’s important! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. You can help your child learn more about our character trait of the month by discussing the monthly parent letters and practicing it! Please reach out to our school counselor, Mrs. Burrell, if you have any questions.
