Message from Dr. Reilly
Farney Families,
Our campus plan to pick up student belongings/return borrowed items will be released soon.
There will be specific days and times organized by last name to pick up your child's items. It is organized by alphabet so that you can pick up all of your children's belongings at one time. There will also be a few times scheduled that are open to any last name for your convenience. Our staff will be placing student items into labeled bags for curbside pick up located in the BACK parking lot (bus lane). This will be drive-up only, no students or parents will be permitted to enter the building, and teachers will not be present. It will be a no-contact delivery, much like what is happening at the meal distribution/packet pick up sites. Please start looking for items that need to be returned such as library books or other borrowed items. Again, the schedule is coming soon.
