Arrival
Morning supervision on the playground begins 10 minutes before the first bell in the morning. Before that time, there is no adult supervision available. Only children who are enrolled in the Albuquerque Parks and Recreation before school program may be on campus earlier than 10 minutes before the first bell. Students may congregate only on the playground before school. Students may not gather in the patio area or in the hallway.
Dismissal
After school, children should leave the campus as soon as possible. There is no after school supervision by Montezuma employees. Exceptions include enrollment in:
- Albuquerque Parks and Recreation program
- After School Program
- Other school approved activity
All children must be picked up promptly at the conclusion of any after school program.
Children must remain on the Montezuma campus during the school day unless they are signed out by an approved adult. When picking up a child, parents or other approved adults must go to the office and present their ID before going to classroom or playground.
Students should wait for their parents in the office if they have not been picked up by 10 minutes after dismissal.
In cases where children are not picked up after school and phone contact cannot be made with parents, the school may exercise its option to contact the APS Police. If the problem continues and the family cannot be contacted, the student may be considered an abandoned child and the police will be notified. Such children may be subject to transportation to a state shelter for abandoned children.
- Parents must not leave their children on a school campus any more than fifteen (15) minutes prior to or fifteen (15) minutes after the school day.
- School grounds are not supervised except during the school day.
- If extenuating circumstances prevent a family from picking up a student on time, the school must be notified within this same fifteen (15) minute period.
- If students are repeatedly left on campus outside of the school day hours, an administrator will attempt to contact the family to discuss the problem.
- If the problem continues, the student may be considered abandoned and the police will be notified. Such children may be subject to transportation to a state shelter for abandoned children.
