Dismissal reminders & after-school activities

With after-school activities beginning on Monday, 20 August, we wanted to share some reminders regarding pick-up procedures at dismissal time.

Pick up from after-school activities (ASAs): All children attending an After School Activity (ASA) in G1-G5 will be accompanied to the Waiting Hut when their ASA finishes. Parents are asked to please meet and collect their child(ren) there at 15:40. If your child is signed up for the ASA bus service, we will make sure they are on the bus to go home at 15:40.
​
School dismissal (if not attending an after-school activity): Parents with children in KG-Grade 3 are asked to please collect their child(ren) from their classrooms. To respect the full lessons happening at the end of the day, parents are asked to please proceed to classrooms no earlier than the dismissal time and to refrain from peeking in the windows and/or conversing outside the classroom door before school officially finishes. Parents with children in ELC are asked to pick up at the classroom door every day at 12:00. For Grades 4-5, the students will be dismissed from their homeroom classroom and independently transition to their pick-up point. Parents, please communicate with your child and let him/her know where to meet you. This is a student privilege as we aim to support students in making good, informed choices independently.

All children will be dismissed from their homeroom classroom even if they have a specialist class at the end of the day. Those children not collected by 14:45 will be brought to the Primary Office. If you are running late, please inform the Primary Office (primaryoffice@aislusaka.org) and collect your child there. Any children playing on the playground after school hours are required to be supervised by parent/guardian. Please make sure you are at the playground if your child is playing there.

Thank you for your support and in helping to keep these dismissal procedures consistent. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Primary Office.
