Temporary Change in Dialing Prefix

Due to a recent outage, commercial numbers for several schools have temporarily changed their dialing prefix from 0611143 to 0964170. 

This affects locations including Ansbach, Baumholder, Baumholder Smith, Hohenfels, Garmisch, Grafenwoehr, Kaiserslautern, Landstuhl, Neztaberg, Sembach, Vilseck and Wiesbaden. We are working with our carrier to determine if the change is permanent and will provide updates as available.

Arrival Dismissal Procedures

Children may arrive no earlier than 0810, fifteen minutes before the line-up whistle. Children (grades 1-5) should report to the playground for morning recess. Parents are advised not to allow their children to leave home too early. Parents who must report early for work or PT should not drop their children off before 0810. Other childcare options should be utilized. Parents will be notified if their child continues to arrive at school too early. Should the problem persist, the chain of command will be notified.

Rather than enter the building prior to 0825, parents should also wait outside with their children. Parents are encouraged to say their goodbyes at the playground rather than enter the building with their child's line. Rota Elementary School aims to develop self-monitoring and independence.

  • 0810 Supervision begins on the playground and school buses begin to arrive
  • 0823 Duty teachers signal for classes to line up
  • 0825 Student lines enter the building
  • 0830 All students should be in their classrooms ready for instruction

Children in PSCD, Sure Start, and kindergarten who do not ride the bus will be met by para-educators at 0825 at the campus gate or classroom door. Students younger than first grade must have parent to para-educator hand off both during arrival and dismissal.

Students are dismissed at the end of the day NLT 1500 (1100 on half-day dismissals and1345 on early release days). School busses depart at 1510 (1110 on half-day dismissals and 1355 on early release days). Students are not allowed to remain on the school grounds after dismissal unless they are participating in sponsored after school activities or accompanied by a parent. Students should not return to their teacher's classroom after the staff duty day.

Early Dismissal from School

If a parent would like to have their child to be dismissed from school early, they should notify the teacher in writing . In the note, indicate when they will come to pick up their child. In any event,the student will remain in the classroom until the parent arrives to sign the student out. To diminish interruptions to the classroom, parents are requested to wait at the office while the child is called to the office. Students will not be dismissed from school unless the office staff or the teacher has been notified.

Security will be contacted when students are not picked up by 1600.
