Informing Your Child's Teacher
1. Let your child's teacher know how your child is to go home; Walkers, car rider, van rider, bus or Alphabest.
2. No one is to be dropped off in the front office before 8:00 am only Pre-k students.
3. If there is a change to your child's way home, it is imperative that you contact your child's teacher immediately.
4. Make sure you are connected to your child's class dojo.
Car Riders
1. form two lines and patiently wait for all to come to a complete stop and you hear the whistle before dropping off or picking up.
2. Make sure you have a car tag displayed on your dashboard with your child's name.
3. Your child will be waiting in the gym for his/her name to be called and get in Line 1 or Line 2.
4. For the safety of all, please go through the carline. It is congested but will move efficiently move if we all follow the rules.
