Please remember to send a note with your child anytime there is a change in their dismissal. Even if you tell your child to change their dismissal, the teacher must have a note giving permission for the change. Otherwise, the teachers are to dismiss the child according to their normal transportation. Children often misunderstand the verbal instructions, so it is important to send these to their teacher. Also, remember that a written note is preferred to an email. Emails can be missed if the teacher is absent or the internet is down. You can call the office with your changes. Please try to call these in no later than 1:45 pm. Thank you for helping us ensure your child is dismissed correctly.
