Dismissal Notes

Dear Families,


We are so excited to welcome families and children back to school for the 2024-2025 school year and to welcome all of our new students to the P.S. 24 Community. In order to support the safety of all children please follow the following guidelines during dismissal.

  1. Do not leave your car double or triple parked in the front or the back of the school. Double parked cars are preventing others from getting out of their parking spots and causing the unsafe situation of students walking between cars. This is also important during arrival. 
  2. Please be patient waiting for your child's teacher to call them. Everyone wants to get their child as quickly as possible, but most importantly we need to make sure all students are safely handed off to their correct adults.
  3. If you are not there in time to pick up your child, late pickup beginning Friday, September 13th will be at exit 6 (One exit to the left of the main entrance when facing the school). Late pick up begins once regular pick up has concluded

Thank you for your support in ensuring a safe school year for all.


Nina Amster

Assistant Principal 10X024
