Arrivals:
Parent drop off begins at 8:00 am. This is the earliest the front doors of the school are open for access.

Students must be in class by 8:25 am.  Any student being dropped off in parent drop-off after 8:25 am must be escorted into the front office and signed in before they can be released to class.
Breakfast is not served after 8:25 a.m.  If your student arrives after 8:25 am, please make sure he/she has already had breakfast.

Departure:
Student checkouts or transportation changes can not be accepted after 2:15 pm. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday AND after 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Changes this late in the school day become confusing and may result in students not being routed appropriately. Please be sensitive to this issue and arrange all changes in transportation accordingly.  Please address any questions to Administration.

REQUESTS FOR CHANGES IN DISMISSAL”
We no longer accept phone calls nor written notes for transportation changes
for our students. We can only accept transportation requests via our online system with this emailed request. The link for a transportation request can also be found on the Main page for Otis A. Mason Elementary School (in the top, teal banner). Always include your child’s full name and teacher name. All requests must be made by 2:15 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and by 1:15 pm on Wednesday. Please note that requests to ride a different bus must be made through the SJCSD Department of Transportation at 904-547-7810. This policy has been put in place to ensure that only parents or legal guardians request transportation changes and to protect the safety of our students. Dismissal changes should be infrequent and in cases of emergency. Please help us create a consistent routine for your child’s dismissal. Please address any questions to Administration.
