Arrival and Dismissal
Arrival
7:05 a.m. Doors on the south side of cafeteria open to allow entrance to cafeteria for students wishing to eat breakfast. Only students may enter the cafeteria through this door at any time.
7:20 a.m. All doors open for arrival to class. Students in the cafeteria may leave for class as they finish breakfast. Students will not be allowed in the front doors or car rider line doors before this time.
7:30 a.m. Tardy bell rings. Students in the cafeteria are sent to class. Any student arriving after 7:30 is tardy.
Walking Students to Class:
It is important to us that the Hoover community feels welcome in the school building. We all greatly desire to have positive, ongoing relationships with families that support student success. For this reason, parents are welcome to walk their student to class every day at Hoover, if they wish. To maintain order in the school building that best supports student success, parents are allowed to walk students to class if:
- They enter through the front door entrance ONLY. Parents are not allowed to enter through the cafeteria to walk their student to class. Parents arriving before 7:20 who wish to walk their student to class MUST wait to enter through the front doors at 7:20 so security protocols can be followed.
- Parents sign in at the office and receive a visitor’s badge.
- Parents drop their student(s) off at the classroom without engaging in conversation with the teacher. This is not an appropriate time to conference with a teacher as they have a class of students to attend at this time. If a parent needs to conference with a teacher, please request to schedule a phone or in-person conversation at a later time. You may also request through the office to schedule a conversation with a teacher.
- Parents do not engage in unscheduled conversations with staff in the hallway. If a conference is needed, please request through the office to meet with a staff member.
- Parents sign out through the office before leaving the building.
Walking students to class is a privilege that may be revoked if these guidelines are not followed.
Tardies:
When a student arrives after the 7:30 a.m. tardy bell, he/she is tardy. Any student who arrives after 7:35 a.m. must have a parent come into the office to request a tardy slip for their student.
Dismissal
Dismissal from school begins at 2:35pm. Families will be assigned a family number. Families will be given two cards with their number.
Car pick up line: The family number card must be displayed in your vehicle’s front window for the car pickup line. As cars arrive, students’ numbers are typed into the system. Students will exit the far northeast doors of the car line area and will be loaded into cars by staff members.
Walk-up pickup line: The family number card must be shown to the staff member at the front door. As students’ numbers are put into the system, students will checkout with the staff member at the front door before exiting using the front doors. Please do not encourage your student to leave the school building without being checked out by the staff member at the front door. For safety, students MUST be checked out before going out the door.
Walkers: Only students listed in Pick-Up Patrol as east or west walkers will be released with the walker dismissal. Walkers should be walking from school to home, not to an adult waiting in a car.
Students will not be released to parents who are walking up to the drive thru doors. If you are wanting to walk up to pick up your students, you will need to park, enter the main doors of the building and present proper identification or your family number card to the office.
*IMPORTANT: No students will be released between 2:10 p.m. and 2:35 p.m.
Dismissal Changes
We use PickUp Patrol Dismissal System to help manage dismissal time and for parents to communicate changes to their student’s regular dismissal plans. We will dismiss your child based on the dismissal information in PickUp Patrol so be sure to confirm the default dismissal plan before the start of each school year. New parents will receive an email with instructions for how to register. Changes can be entered from a smartphone or computer in advance and at any time up until 1:30 pm on the day of the change.
After 1:30 pm, changes will not be accepted except in the case of an emergency. The end of the school day is a busy time. To ensure the safety of all students, please plan accordingly and limit these exceptions to emergencies only.
Students MUST BE PICKED UP BY 2:50pm. Students who are not picked up by 2:50pm will be taken to the office and will wait on the benches. NOTE: When picking students up after 2:50 pm, you will be required to park, enter the main doors of the building and present proper identification or your family number card to the office..
IMPORTANT: TPS Security and/or Tulsa Police may be contacted if students are not picked up by 3:05 pm.
