HOMEROOM APP: Please download this app CODE will differ per teacher.
Please put a change of clothing in your child’s backpack.

Dismissal changes - If you need to change your child's dismissal for the day (how they typically go home), you need to notify the office before 1:30 pm. Please do not solely email their teacher as they may not see the email until after dismissal. Additionally, if you have an older student as well, the office needs to be aware of the dismissal change for both. We can not rely on the older sibling to let them know. This is for the safety of all the kiddos. Thank you!

- Dress appropriately for the weather
- Pack a dry snack that isn't messy
- Send a water bottle with your child (no other liquids in the classroom)
