Dismissal Procedures

Seneca Intermediate students will be dismissed at 2:25 p.m.. We ask that any changes in dismissal routines for students be made to our office staff before 1:00 p.m. each day. This will then give us enough time to notify necessary staff members and the transportation department so that your child can be safely dismissed. This is a firm time deadline so please make every effort to contact our main office with any changes in your child’s dismissal prior to 1:00 p.m.
