  • PikmyKidIn our ongoing efforts to enhance your child’s safety and simplify dismissal, we have implemented PikMyKid. This new method of dismissal allows the parent to "announce" their arrival in the afternoon. The student will see the announcement and head to the parents' pick-up from their classroom. Parents can also change their child's mode of transportation and delegate someone else to pick them up after school.

    Please visit the Riley Pikmykid webpage for user guides and videos to learn more about how we will implement PikMyKid at John G. Riley Elementary this coming school year!

Notices

Important Information

  • "Oops! You're Late" Initiative

    ClockThe tardy bell rings at 8:30 AM each morning.  Students arriving at school after that time must be escorted to the office by their parent/guardian and receive a late pass to class.  Students will utilize their student identification numbers to log in to the Kiosk located at the front desk. Students will receive a printed admission pass to take to his/her classroom teacher.  Office staff will assist students that may not have their student identification numbers/cards. Our goal is to increase the student attendance rate and decrease the number of student tardies each day.

     

    Special note

    Elementary students who are chronically late or leave early without an acceptable excuse (5 unexcused absences/tardies in a 9-week grading period or 10 unexcused absences/tardies in a semester) are in violation of the school board attendance policy and will receive written notification from the school.
