Daily Schedule

Students attend classes between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Regular attendance and punctuality are vital to their academic success and to their integration into our school community. Please make certain that your child can be present in her/his classroom by no later than 8:50 a.m. every morning.

Drop off/Pick up Parking

A white lane is on Quintara street, starting from 22^nd and going toward 21^st Avenue. This lane makes it easier for parents to park their cars when dropping off/picking up kids and should be used by RAIS parents.

Drop off time 8- to 9 am, pick up time 3:30- to 5:30pm, Monday through Friday.

PLEASE RESPECT OUR NEIGHBORS AND OTHER RAIS PARENTS!

DO NOT BLOCK NEIGHBORS’ DRIVEWAYS!

DO NOT DOUBLE PARK CARS!

Morning Routine

Parents must drop off children in the School Building
( Main School doorway at 22nd Avenue ) no earlier than 8:00 a.m. There is no supervision of children before this time. We do not encourage such an early arrival for the kindergarten children.

Signing In/Out

Each parent or person designated to bring children to/from school is responsible to sign in and out with initialed signature and time. Parents should notify the school if another person not specified on the Sign In/Out Authorization Form will be picking up a child. If a person is not familiar to a staff member a picture ID will be required before release.

Parents must call or send a note to school with details of any changes in Signing out Visitation Authorization Form which had been completed at the time of enrollment. This is particularly necessary when your child is going home with another child, as we cannot release children to anyone whom you have not authorized to pick them up. If in doubt, we will keep your child in the school until we can confirm the new arrangement with you. Children cannot use the telephone to arrange carpool changes.

We keep careful records of attendance and lateness for two reasons:
(1) In the interests of the children’s safety and security, we must know which children are at school each day and where they are throughout the day.
(2) We will contact families of children who are more than occasionally absent or tardy.

Afternoon Routine

When classes are dismissed:

a) Children whose parents have arranged for the After-school program go under a supervision of a teacher of each grade to a designated area.

b) Other children remain under supervision until the duty personnel dismiss them to their parents or those designated in the Sign In/Sign Out form. Please pick up these children by no later than agreed in the Tuition Contract. Children who are not picked up by this time wait for their parents in one of the classrooms. However, parents who are more than occasionally late will be asked to enroll their children in the After School Program. There is a fee charged for this service, and you must pay the fee when you pick up your child. So if you know that you will frequently pick up your child after 2:30 p.m., please enroll her/him in the After School Program.
