Arrival/Dismissal Protocols
Dismissal Plan
It is very important that we know your child’s dismissal plan so we can ensure they get home safely. If anything is going to change (i.e. you are going to pick up instead of going on the bus) you MUST communicate this to BOTH your child’s teacher AND the office BEFORE 1:30.
