Police gave  clearance to dismiss bus riders, kiss and ride students and walkers who lived to the west of the building.  Students who live on Camden or who walk home via east Linton Lane  were kept at school. We notified parents via telephone of the situation.

To insure that no students were walking home or playing in the area of the situation, teachers were sent to key areas to monitor the dismissal.  Our extra precautions resulted in a later than usual dismissal.  Thank you for patience and understanding.
