Oak Hammock Middle School Dismissal Procedures
Student Dismissal is at 4:00 PM. Please choose one main way your child will go home: Parent Pick Up, Walker, Bus, or After School Activity/Tutoring. Many students take advantage of our afterschool activities, intramurals, and tutoring. Communicate with your child each morning if your child will be staying after school for an activity. If you need to make changes to the way your child will go home, please call the front office before 3:30 pm. Please do not email staff with dismissal changes, as they may not see the message in time.
Bus Riders
Students riding the bus must ride their designated bus to and from school. In the event a student needs to ride another bus home, the request must be in writing and provided to the front office by 10:00 that same morning. Office staff will call to inform the parent/guardian if the request is approved or denied. Requests will only be approved according to district guidelines.
Walkers
Walkers will be dismissed first. Walkers must exit through the gates in the rear of OHMS property. The gate will be closed and locked at 4:15. Students on campus after this time without permission will be disciplined accordingly.
