• Students arriving late for school, or leaving school early, need to be signed in or out.
• Students being picked up at the close of school will be dismissed from the cafeteria. In the interests of student safety, children will not be permitted to wait for rides outside of the building, or to walk unescorted to cars in the parking lot.

Families of students being picked up from school for early dismissal should complete the McNamara Attendance and Dismissal Change form. When you arrive, the student will be called to the office.

• If your student walks in the morning, please keep in mind if they arrive before 8:35 there will be no supervision on the playground or outside of school.

To maintain the safety of all students at McNamara, we ask all visitors to enter through the front doors and adhere to the following security procedures.

At the front doors, please ring the security bell and identify yourself and the purpose of your visit. When you are buzzed in you will proceed through the Evolv threat detection system if you will be entering the building for a previously scheduled appointment or event. If you are picking up a student early you will wait in the lobby for the student to be called down. If you are dropping off something for a student, please leave it with the main office staff who will deliver it to your child. If you wish to visit any part of the building for an event, you must obtain a Visitor’s Badge by presenting a driver's license which will be scanned to produce the visitor badge. For the safety and security of all students, parents and visitors are not permitted to walk the halls, go to any classroom, cafeteria or playground without a visitor pass. This includes arrival and dismissal times.

All visitors must present their ID when entering the building, even if you have had your ID previously scanned.
