Dismissed from school
Hi Everyone on English Forum,
I have a question on how the usage of "dismiss from school". Would you please help me out 
?
Please imagine the following case:
A - A student
B - His dad
A : Dad. I have classes today and I'm going to school now.
B : Ok. When will you be dismissed from school today? Remember, we've got a dinner invitation from Uncle C tonight.
A : I will be dismissed at x o'clock this afternoon.
Is it correct to say " I will be dismissed ....."?
Is there another way of saying this?
What about "I will finish school at ......"
Would you please also help me correct any grammatical mistake I have made in this post ?
Thank you in advance
Kenny

Having gone to school in the UK, in England in particular, your suggestion is unfamiliar. People would use the word school instead of "classes".
