Daily Dismissal Procedures
School of Grammar End-of-Day Dismissal:
At the end of the school day at 3:30pm, all students will be dismissed to their appropriate method of transportation. Students utilizing busing will exit to the buses, with Prima students being escorted by school staff. Prima-4G students who are parent/guardian pick-up will be brought outside to the Quad where they will meet their families.
To keep all of our students safe, and to ensure that teachers can confirm the identity of the adults picking up the children, we ask that parents wait to collect their children until the teachers have finished escorting students to their designated space on the Quad. We appreciate your patience and thank you for helping to keep our scholars safe and secure!
In the event of rain, parents should pick their children up in the main entrance of the School of Grammar. Staff members will direct you to where your child’s pick-up area is located in the building.
School of Logic & School of Rhetoric End-of-Day Dismissal:
At the end of the school day at 3:30pm, all students will be dismissed to their appropriate method of transportation. Students utilizing busing will exit to the buses and students utilizing parent/guardian pick-up will exit through the Quad to the parking lot. If SOL/SOR scholars have a sibling in the SOG, they may pick them up outside in the Quad.

When emailing changes to the school, please list the following:
Your child’s name, school level/grade, homeroom teacher (for SOG), the desired change (e.g. bus, parent pickup), and the date.

If you have multiple children at Parnassus, you may make changes for all children in one email, but please list the appropriate information for each child. There will be an option to leave a voicemail via the main office number as well.
All requests must be submitted by email or voicemail by 12:00pm each school day. This allows us to safely ensure all students have the correct dismissal change information. Please note: This is meant for occasional changes to your child’s normal end-of-day routine. If you need to make a permanent or long-term change to your child’s dismissal plan, please see your child’s school main office for a change form.
