Important Reminders
- If you need to make a change to your child's transportation, a parent must submit written notification to the teacher on or before that day. If you are changing transportation on the day of the change, you must submit a hard copy of the written notification, not by email to ensure the teacher is aware. If there is an emergency or late change, a parent must call and speak to the front office staff and will be asked to verify your identity. Only a child's custodial parent or guardian are allowed to make changes to transportation.
- Please be aware that your child's teacher is teaching all day, and may not be able to check email except during related arts time or before/after school. For this reason, please allow teachers 24 hours to return your email. If you have an emergency and need to speak with someone right away, please call the office staff at 260-5040 and we will be happy to help you.
- School is dismissed at 2:30. Teachers are teaching until 2:25. For this reason, we do not dismiss students after 2:00 from the front office. After 2:00 you must get in the car line to pick your child up. The exceptions to this rule are medical appointments or family emergencies. Parents who make the request to pick up after 2:00 for other reasons will need to speak with an administrator.
- Students may not be signed in or out by anyone under the age of 18.
- If you come through the car line after 2:50 you may be asked to come in to the office to sign your child out. There may be days we are later than 2:50 bringing students in depending on the activities happening after school and the number of students who are car riders. Just know that as a general rule, with the exception of safety patrol, you will be asked to come inside to sign your child out after 2:50.
- Office hours are from 7:30 - 3:00.
