We will give each classroom a sign-out sheet and dots. Teachers will need to verify parents and/or guardians will only be allowed to sign students out in the classroom on this party day. If you are not sure, send the student and parent to the office to sign-out. Once the teacher has verified and parents have signed the form in the classroom, the teacher will put a colored dot on the parent and one colored dot on the student. The office team will be checking for these dots and will collect sign-out sheets after each party time.
If you are unsure, call the office! (Office will place items needed for sign-out in teachers' boxes on Wed., 12/18)
