Important Reminder About Early Dismissal
We kindly ask that all students who need to leave before 2:45 p.m. be checked out through the office before that time. This allows our staff to accurately update transportation lists and ensure that every student is accounted for.
When students leave right before dismissal without being checked out in advance, it can create confusion and extra searching for students who are already safely on their way home. Our goal is to keep every child safe while maintaining an efficient dismissal process.
We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation—it helps us make dismissal smooth and safe for all students. Thank you for partnering with us!
Menu change today! Instead of enchiladas we are having grilled cheese and no beans. With corn and pineapple tidbits!
