TRANSPORTATION
Please remember to send in a Parent Communication Form if you are changing your child's end of the day transportation routine. If an emergency arises throughout the day, please email your teacher and carbon copy the office (theobalds@sycamoreschools.org). If you do not receive a response to your email, please contact the school by 3pm. Teachers do not always have an opportunity to check their emails until after school. We try very hard not to interrupt classrooms at the end of the day with late pick up notices.
