Notes From Parents Regarding Picking Students Up
If you plan to pick your child up during the school day or after school (rather than riding the bus), a written note or email is required. All notes should be sent to the child’s teacher and will then be forwarded to the office with the morning attendance. Alternatively, you may email the office. If someone other than the parent/guardian is picking your child up, it is essential that you give us the name of the person.
