The Polaris bell times for the 2023-2024 school year are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Starting in the 2023-2024 school year, Polaris will not have any standard bus routes. This shift is associated with the changing transportation priorities aligned with the DPS Healthy Start Times initiative.
Polaris students may choose to utilize the DPS Success Express Shuttle and Polaris will have a dedicated shuttle stop. The Success Express drop-off and pick-up times at Polaris will directly coincide with the new bell times. Learn more about the Success Express Shuttle.
Polaris will offer playground supervision beginning at 8:15 on the playground. We provide two Kiss & Go Lanes as well playground drop-off. Details about our new arrival systems are coming soon!
In our ongoing efforts to enhance your children’s safety, we have decided to begin using the PikMyKid Dismissal Application. Throughout the country, it has been proven to simplify dismissal, reduce traffic congestion, and most importantly, improve overall safety. Learn more about PikMyKid here.
The unique features of PikMyKid allow you, as parents, to easily change pick up modes, quickly delegate to an alternate individual for pickup, change to an ‘After School’ program, and even schedule for future pickup mode, pickup individual, and after school programs. This app allows you to be in full control of your child’s dismissal and it gives us, the school, complete information regarding dismissal and the ability to acknowledge every change and to instantly check your child’s dismissal status should you have a question.
We are very excited about this addition and know you will be too. After August 4, 2023, please download and register for PikMyKid by August 18. Please do not attempt to register until August 4th. A video tutorial on registration can be found here. If your phone number is not recognized when you register please email our Administrative Assistant Ann Warner at ann_warner@dpsk12.net.
