Drop off/Pick up Procedures: Parents of walkers should drop off their children at the Okell Street entrance no earlier than 7:35 am. Beginning August 31st, K-1st grade parents must drop their children off at the door. Arrival of students after 7:45am (tardy) is to be through the front entrance on South Park Avenue. Students must be signed in and receive a tardy pass. All students picked up by their parent/guardian(walkers), will be dismissed from the gym. The rear door will open to parent/guardian @ 2:40 pm. Parents should wait in the corridor until their child(ren)'s grade level is called. Please remember to sign your child out.

Transportation: For address changes that will effect your transportation needs, call the school directly at 826-7213. For all other transportation concerns: Buffalo Residents need to call Buffalo Public School Transportation at 828-4895. Lackawanna Residents need to call Laidlaw at 821-0647.

Change in Dismissal Procedures: A change in your child's dismissal procedure must be submitted to your child's teacher in the morning. In the event of an emergency or unforeseen circumstances, please do not call after 2:00 pm to change your child's dismissal.

Phone Calls: No child will be permitted to call home if they have forgotten something for that school day. In addition, parents will not be able to call the school, and speak directly to their child. All messages to children must be placed with the Office Staff.

Visitors: All visitors, including parents, must enter through the South Park entrance and report to the receptionist. This rule will be strictly enforced.

After-school Program: The after-school program is done as a convenience to parents/guardians who absolutely cannot pick up their children at 3:15 pm. SBCS does not offer a comprehensive program with activities, games or tutoring. Students wait in the cafeteria under the supervision of Teacher's Assistants. Parents must have a written request and a registration form on file in advance to attend. Space is very limited, so we restrict this service to parents who absolutely need it. Parents must pick up their children by 3:45 pm, or their child will not be permitted to stay in the program.
