Each week we will highlight one of our most Frequently Asked Questions:


Early Dismissal / End-of-Day Changes

Email or Call the office 651-351-6800 if you:

● Need to pick up your child early (ex: doctor appt)

● Need to change your child’s after school plans (ex: parent pick up instead of the bus)


● Please do not enter early dismissal changes into PowerSchool, call or email the office!

● Please do not email your teacher any same-day changes during the school day: teachers frequently do not have access to their email until after dismissal. Office staff will ensure a message gets to your student!


We will communicate these changes to your student’s teacher and (if needed) ensure your child

is waiting for you in the office, ready to go!


All-Day or Late Arrival Absences

Reporting before 7:30 a.m.? Please Log onto PowerSchool for the following:

● Your child will be absent all day

Reporting after 7:30 a.m.?
