All students will need to be registered as a bus rider or walker at the start of the year. Identifying tags are fixed to students’ backpacks and indicate to teachers how students are going home on a daily basis. Walkers should arrive at school from 7:25 a.m. onwards.
During School:
Late Arrivals
Students arriving late to school must check-in at the 5/F Front Office before going to their classes. Students returning to school after having checked out earlier that day must also check-in again at the 5/F Office before going to their classes.
Picking up students during the day
If it becomes necessary, for any reason, to pick your child up during the school day, please inform your child’s teacher and teacher assistant a day in advance. In the event of an emergency please call the UP Office. Kindly make arrangements so that minimum interruption to lessons in progress will be incurred. Please pick up your child before 1:30 p.m. in order to avoid conflict with busing. Only those adults who are listed in Power School as parents or emergency contacts will be allowed to pick up a child, unless there is written authorization from parents. Please come to the UP office to pick up a dismissal card and present it to your child’s teacher before checking your child out of school.
Should you wish to have your child picked up by your driver/helper during school hours because they are ill or need to leave early, you must fill in the Private Transportation release disclaimer in PowerSchool to give them permission to pick up your child. If this disclaimer has not been filled in, only parents will be allowed to pick students up. https://powerschool.hkis.edu.hk/public
