End of the Day
Also, if they are walking with friends, please make sure you reinforce waiting patiently for everyone to arrive at their meeting place. Many times, students do not take the time to wait and friends leave causing a lot of confusion and worry.
If you have an emergency and need to change dismissal plans during the day, do not email the teacher. Email the change of dismissal information to the main office staff, Mrs. Citron and Mrs. McHugh before 2: 00 p.m. This information cannot be taken over the phone. Do not send an email to the teachers for an emergency change of dismissal.
