Will your student be picked-up?
Please don't forget to bring your
Parent Pick-Up (PPU) number with you when pick-up your child after school.
If you don't have a PPU number, one will be assigned to you on the first day. Having these numbers visible helps us excuse students quickly and efficiently.
We really appreciate your support with this!
Is your student riding the bus?
