Back to School Reminders
Just a few reminders as we begin the new school year:
- All visitors must check in at the front office, show photo ID, and obtain a visitors pass.
- There are no check-outs after 2:30. Also, please remember to send a note to the teacher letting them know you will be checking your child out early. This will ensure your child has his/her belongings ready when you arrive.
- Transportation changes must be submitted in writing, no later than 12:30 PM. (We cannot accept transportation changes over the phone or via fax/email.)
- Bus passes are for emergencies only.
- All students must have a transportation tag attached to their backpack. If you purchase your child a new backpack throughout the year, please remove the tag from the old backpack and send it in to school with your child. We will attach it to their new backpack for you in the office.
- Ice Cream is sold during lunch everyday. The cost is $1.
