Dismissal Reminders
- If you are walking to pick up your child, please remember no pets are allowed on campus.
- Pull as far up as possible in the car line so we can keep the line moving. The teachers will make sure your child gets to your car.
- Cross the road in designated crosswalks.
- Place your child's name sign in the window. If you need another sign, please let your child's homeroom teacher know.

If the temperature/wind chill is BETWEEN 32 and 37 degrees, we will go outside for half of recess.
We will have indoor recess if the temperature/wind chill is BELOW 32 degrees.
