    The parent or guardian will be charged a rate of $1/ minute payable to Uplift Luna Primary after 4:00pm (2:30pm Wed). We will expect you to bring cash at the time you pick up your scholar at the front office.

    Student safety is a high priority here at Uplift Luna Primary. Therefore, we make every effort to ensure that all students are under appropriate supervision until they return to you at the end of their school day. For that reason, we want to remind all parents about the requirement to pick up their scholars promptly after school dismissal. The school is not staffed to provide supervision for students in these after-hour situations. Our employees also have families and obligations they need to address after 4pm.  In addition, children can feel confused and apprehensive when they are not picked up on time. If you are unable to pick up your scholar at dismissal, please enroll in our on-campus after care program through Champions, Boys & Girls Club, or Reverchon. For availability and pricing, please contact the site directors.

    We understand that things out of your control may arise, thus communication is key. If you know you are running late, please contact the front office before 3pm and let us know the anticipated time of pick-up. However, it should not be a reoccurring habit. Our late pick-up procedure is as follows:

    • We will contact the parents of those who are not picked up after carline is over at 4:05pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 2:35pm on Wednesdays.

    • If the parent/legal guardian cannot be reached, we will call from the child’s authorized emergency contact list.  We will continue to attempt contact with the parent/legal guardian and/or the authorized emergency contacts 3 times before escalating the situation.

    • Parent must sign out their child with the accurate time of pick-up on the sign out form. The parent or guardian will be charged a rate of $1/ minute payable to Uplift Luna Primary after 4:00pm (2:30pm Wed). We will expect you to bring cash at the time you pick up your scholar at the front office. Any fees not paid will result in students to be unable to participate in fieldtrips and end of year activities.
