Starting TODAY, our end-of-day parent pickup routine will change. Adults picking up students will park and enter the building through the lower lobby door by the gym. The doors will open at 2:50pm. Adults will sign out students and move to the cafeteria to pick up students for dismissal. At school, we will maintain our list of everyday pickup students. If your child is on the list, there is nothing you need to do or change. ANY TIME you are unexpectedly picking up your child from school, please call the office before 2:00 p.m. so your child's name can be added to the pickup list. This helps us create a safe, smooth, and efficient process at the end of the day. THANK YOU all for your incredible, consistent support over the past couple of years. Our school wide routines have been changed due to safety reasons and we are thrilled to be shifting back to some more traditional routines. If you would like your child to begin taking the bus to school or home from school, please contact the transportation department at 582-6663.
