Reminder about pick up and dismissal Reminder about pick up and dismissal

As a reminder, the bus loop out front is NOT for student pickup. The bus loop is designated for bus pickup only and cars may not park in the loop. If you are not here to accept your child at 3:15 you will need to park, walk to the front of the building, and ask a staff member to call for your child.

Parents must send changes in dismissal arrangements in the form of a note or email to the classroom teacher. For safety reasons, the school will request identification from the adult at the time of pick-up. If anyone other than the parent picks up the child, they must be listed on the emergency card and have photo identification.
