Office Hours
The main office opens each morning at 8:30 a.m. Staff will be available after 8:30 a.m. for assistance in the main office and to answer the phones.
Student Arrival
Breakfast starts at 8:45 a.m. Our doors will open at this time for breakfast. School starts at 9:10 a.m. The side doors automatically lock at 9:10 a.m. At this time students are considered tardy to school and parents will need to walk students into the front office for a tardy pass.
Student Dismissal
The dismissal car rider line ends around 4:15 p.m. At this time students who have not been picked up are walked to the front office. Parents who pick up students after 4:15 p.m. will need to pick them up in the front office. Please be mindful that it takes a few minutes to walk them from the car rider rooms to the main office.
Change in Transportation
Students are sent home based on teacher and parent communication. Any changes to transportation must be communicated by the parent to the classroom teacher in writing. If a child is being switched from a car rider to a bus rider, the parent must communicate this change to the classroom teacher. Teachers will not automatically place a student on a bus. This policy goes for any change in transportation, including daycare.
Early Pick-ups
Students are expected to attend the entire school day. However, we understand that occasional emergencies occur. To maintain safety during the dismissal process, no early dismissals will be allowed after 3:30 p.m.
Parking Lot
The parking lot is closed off each day from 3:30 p.m. until 3:50 p.m. to allow time for Barack Obama School to complete the dismissal process. Parents should arrive for dismissal starting at 3:50 p.m.
There are a limited number of accessible spaces, these spots are intended for students with disabilities. Please refrain from parking in these spaces during arrival and dismissal.
We appreciate your cooperation!
