Change in dismissal procedures
Parents, if you need to change your child’s normal dismissal procedure,
please send a note with your child the day the change will take place. If
an emergency arises, we will accept phone calls, but would prefer to
have the change in writing. In order for staff members to provide a safe
dismissal procedure for all students, we ask parents to keep dismissal
procedures the same daily. We understand if changes need to be made,
but these changes should be planned, if possible.
