Wednesday Weekly

Families, please email the office and the teacher with any dismissal changes for your child. It is important to email both the teacher and office staff (dkusmerz@barrington220.org and kwest@barrington220.org) so no change in dismissal plans for your student gets overlooked.

If you call in your child’s change in dismissal, please also follow it up with an email.

We would appreciate all dismissal changes at least 45 minutes before the end of the school day. We do realize that things come up and this may not always be possible.

We appreciate your cooperation.
