*Drop off begins at 8:50am. Any students arriving after 9:00am are considered TARDY.
*Pick up begins at 3:25pm.
* If you are picking up your child you must have a simple dismissal number. These were available during Meet & Greet. If you did not come to Meet & Greet your child should have brought home this number today.

*If you are parking on a side street to walk and drop/pick up your child you MUST use the cross walk. Please do not cross Highland Grove Road.
* 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders came home with a tag on their backpack today. Please take a look at this to ensure that what we have documented is correct. If it is incorrect please call the office.
