Dismissal Procedures

How does my child get to class?  And how are they dismissed?

For morning gym classes, students enter through the gym doors near the Joey's park parking lot. For morning classes held in other parts of the building, children enter via the school’s main doors on Waterhouse Rd., and can walk themselves to the class location.  For younger students, office staff will help ensure students get to their class location. Students are dismissed in time to begin the school day with their classmates.

For afternoon classes, students in grades 1-3 walk themselves to the class location, while K students are escorted by Extracurricular staff.  At the end of class, students in the WBExL (Aftercare) program are brought to that location by their Extracurricular instructor.  Students being picked up as well as those third graders allowed to walk home (with permission) are brought to the main lobby and then dismissed via the main entrance on Waterhouse Rd. 

Can my child attend WBExL AND Extracurriculars?

Yes, and many do!  Please note that these are two separate programs and there is no cost-sharing.  Students enrolled in WBExL pay the same fees as other students for Extracurriculars, and do not receive a discount from the WBExL program.

How to Register
