FROM THE OFFICE
We try to limit the number of classroom interruptions during the school day, however, we realize that it may become necessary to change your child's dismissal plans. If you must change the way your child is to be dismissed, we ask that you send a note in advance. If you have to make a change via telephone, we ask that you do it as early as possible. Please try not to call with dismissal changes after 3:00pm.
Also, as the winter season approaches, some parents may decide to pick up/drop off their children who normally walk to and from school. Please remember that the front of the building is designated for buses only. If you choose to pick up/drop off your child you must do so in the parent line on the side of the building. If you choose to pick your walker up at the end of the day, please send in a note informing us of the end of the day change. This is necessary so that we can ensure your child is sent to the parent pick up line at the end of the day.
Notes
Please remember, you must send a note in with your children when they will be leaving early for appointments. This allows the teachers to be prepared and to have them ready to go at the designated time. Please allow enough tome for you to come into the building to sign your child out. Students will be called from class once you come into the office. You may send in the doctor's excuse the next day. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
