Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of all of our students. With their safety in mind, we have established arrival and dismissal procedures. We have made some changes to our dismissal procedures so please be sure to review this document: 24-25 Arrival and Dismissal.
Walkers and car riders are dismissed when the bell rings. Grades 1st-4th will exit out door 5 at the back of the building. Grades 5th-6th will exit out of door 8 at the back of the building. Kindergartners will exit doors 3 & 4 by the playground.
Please also note that the Parking lot will close 10 minutes before student dismissal – 2:50 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 2:20 on Wednesdays. We recommend parking on Braintree Drive or Country Club Lane (then following the path through the park to the school) since parking is limited at Hale. If you want to meet your child(ren) at dismissal please find a parking spot or park on a side street and walk to the back of the building. Please do no double park your car in the middle aisle for the safety of students and staff.
