IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABSENCES/TARDINESS/ DISMISSALS
If your child will be absent or tardy, please call the Dunning School (508-626-9155) between 4:30 PM and 9:00 AM and leave a message on the answering machine. On the message state your child’s full name, grade, teacher and reason for absence or tardiness. If you are having your child dismissed early from school, please send a note to me with the date and dismissal time or call the office and speak to someone directly. DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE OR EMAIL WITH THIS INFORMATION. Without a note or phone call, we must go with your child’s REGULAR dismissal schedule.
Drop Off/Pick Up
Bus Students: Students should wear identification tags through at least September and then put the tag on your child’s backpack. Bus riders will be met by staff to guide them when they arrive and will be walked by staff to their bus at dismissal.
If you miss the bus at drop-off time, please call the Dunning School (508-626-9155) and stay by the phone. Please be ready for the bus early and expect delays, especially during the first few weeks of school.
Parent Transport Students:
Drop Off: An adult should walk your child to Door #15 (by East Playground) and will be greeted by a Kindergarten teacher.
Pick Up: Parents should line up along sidewalk leading to door #15 (by East Playground) and a Kindergarten teacher will dismiss each child to their parent/designated adult individually. We will quickly get to know you but for the first month or so please tell us your child’s name when you reach the door, and we will call the child to be dismissed.
Explorer’s Students: Explorer’s staff will deliver and pick up your child from their classroom.
HOME-SCHOOL FOLDER Please CHECK AND EMPTY your child’s folder EVERY FRIDAY for notices and papers and RETURN it to school EVERY MONDAY in the backpack.
BIRTHDAYS: Birthdays will be celebrated in the classroom; however, NO FOOD is allowed! We will sing to the “birthday child” and they will receive a recognition of their birthday (e.g. crown, sticker, certificate or some other small item).
