PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED!
Please be sure to inform the office as soon as possible of any changes to your home address or home, cell, or work phone numbers. Should an emergency or illness arise with your student, it is important that we have current phone numbers available so that we can reach you in a timely manner. Thank you for your assistance.

PLEASE PLAN AHEAD...
We realize that mornings are often a busy, hectic time but we need to ask parents to please make your after school plans with your children before they leave for school in the morning. Many of the messages called into the office are for the same students, day after day. Learning is interrupted every time we deliver a message. Please work with your family to make all after school arrangements before coming to school, whenever possible. We do understand there are occasional unexpected changes in schedules and emergencies that must be communicated with your child before dismissal. All phone calls requesting a last minute change in transportation (pickup, bus, walk) or destination (latchkey, home, sitter) must be received by the office before 3:30pm. We appreciate your cooperation!

BUS PASSES
Please note that due to full loads on busses, bus passes are only allowed for emergency situations. We are unable to provide passes to go to a friend's home for sleepovers or parties. The student handbook makes it very specific that all students assigned to a bus are expected to board that bus before and after school at their assigned bus stop. Changes in this procedure are reserved for emergencies. Bus passes are issued for emergencies upon receipt of written permission from the parent/guardian. Directions given to a child verbally in the morning or hand written notes cannot be accepted by the bus driver. If you need your child to ride his/her regular bus but to get off at a different stop, we still need a note so that a bus pass can be issued. If the bus from which you are requesting special transportation is filled to capacity, the request cannot be honored. For after school parties and other events, we ask that children ride their regular bus home and transportation be provided by families. Thank you in advance for understanding and abiding by this district bus pass policy. We will make every effort to accommodate emergency situations and ensure the safety of all students.

WHO CAN/CANNOT PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL?
Parents, please make sure you list individuals on your child(ren)'s emergency card who can pick up your child(ren) from school. Do not assume that if you give a friend permission to pick up your child, that the school will allow it. Without a note, phone call, or name on an emergency card, we cannot release your child. Please respect this district policy.

STUDENT DROPOFF AND PICKUP
Just a reminder that students should not be dropped off at school prior to 8:45am. We want to keep our children safe, and staff supervision does not begin until 8:45am. We do offer a latchkey program for students, which begins at 7:00am. We appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Thank you for your cooperation, as we strive to provide our students with a safe school environment.
