If your child will be absent or late, please make sure to call the office prior to 8am. We also have an attendance voicemail that you can call any time to report an absence for your child.
If you need assistance in person, please make sure to ring the doorbell on the far left wall of the foyer so that we may assist you through the intercom. If you are dropping off items for your child, please bring them to the table in the foyer, bag them, and put your child's name and room number on the item for delivery. We check the table periodically throughout the morning.
