Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

  • Home
  • Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
FSMA dismisses over 600 children each day and conducts multiple checks to ensure everyone gets home safely. Because of our dismissal check system, minimal dismissal changes are extremely helpful.
Click Here To View & Download Our Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Dismissal Changes: (Please submit before 1:00 p.m.)

  • If you know your child is going home a different way than usual, please call the main office or email mainoffice@fsma.k12.de.us and cc your child’s teachers

Emergency Dismissal Changes:

  • If something comes up after 1:00 p.m., please call the main office – mainoffice@fsma.k12.de.us
*Please note that there after 3:00 p.m., adults must utilize the parent pick-up line (on the side of either building).  Only pre-planned, communicated early dismissals can be done in the office after 3:00 p.m.
