What is one primary activity to be done during early dismissal days?

The choice of cleaning the II center as a primary activity during early dismissal days is aligned with the practical needs of maintaining a conducive learning environment. Early dismissal days typically allow for limited instructional time, making it advantageous to allocate time for cleaning and organizing spaces used by students, particularly in settings that support individuals with autism. A clean and organized environment can enhance the overall atmosphere, promote safety, and prepare the center for upcoming activities and learning experiences.

While activities such as testing students, conducting parent-teacher conferences, and hosting student presentations may also be important, they often require more extensive time and resources that may not be as feasible on early dismissal days. Focusing on cleaning ensures that the center remains a welcoming and functional space, directly supporting the mission of providing a structured and nurturing educational environment for students with autism.
