Dismissal Change
Any change to what a student normally does at dismissal requires written notification from a parent/guardian and must go through the school office. If your child is going home with another student, a written note is required from both the sending parent and the receiving parent. UNLESS IT’S AN EMERGENCY, written confirmation of these arrangements should be sent to school in the morning or called into the office by 11am. Students are not permitted to ride another bus or change stops to visit a friend’s house, for scout meetings, play dates, etc.
