TDPACS Frequently Asked Questions

What if my child forgets his lunch?

You may bring your child’s lunch to the front office by 10:00 am and it will be delivered to the classroom before they go to the cafeteria. Please note; the front office will not make deliveries after 10:00 am, and “fast food” and sugary foods will not be delivered to the student.

What if my child needs to leave during the school day?

You may check your child out at the front office for appointments. Be sure to bring your photo ID and it may take a few minutes to locate your child from specials or the playground. If you take your child out prior to 10:00, please bring a note from the doctor and present it upon your return to school. This will prevent your child from having an absence. If the student has an early appointment and comes to school afterwards, bring a note from the doctor and the student will not be charged with a tardy for the day. Tardiness and late check-ins, even with a doctor’s note, will count against perfect attendance counts. Students may not be checked out after 2:30, as they will be moving to their dismissal locations at that time. If you arrive after 2:30 pm, be prepared to wait until our normal dismissal is complete and sign students out at 4:00 pm.

Dismissal Procedures 
Our School day ends at 3:30 pm. Dismissal is from 3:30 pm – 3:45 pm. Students are picked up at their designated location. Students picked up after 4:00 pm will be held by our staff. A letter will be sent home as a gentle reminder when routine late pickups occur. Repeated failure to pick up a student on time  after school will compel the school to call Child Protective Services.  

Can I eat lunch with my child?

Visitors are allowed during lunch. You are only allowed to bring lunch for your student. Please check back for future updates and special events. Also, you can see what is on the menu by clicking on the Child Nutrition Menu button on our website.
