7 tips for safe school dismissal

Nutri-Link Offers 7 Tips for a Safer School Dismissal in 2024

1. Keep students in their classroom seats. Have them packed and ready to go.
2. Teach students to ‘Walk with purpose’ to the release area – this means no stops at the bathroom or water fountains.
3. Provide clear instructions for parents and students at the beginning of the school year. Send reminders throughout the year.
4. Display signs and directions in the parking lot and around the school to direct traffic.
5. Require changes to a child’s dismissal be made by a certain cut-off point during the day.
6. Engage your team – assign staff and teachers to designated areas and exits to help with flow.
7. Use an app to reduce paperwork and wait time, improve safety and accountability.  For example, check out CurbSmart our school dismissal app!
