CHANGES IN AFTER SCHOOL PLANS
Children need consistency. In order for the office to effectively communicate these changes, we need parents to plan ahead and do the following:
1. In the morning, write a note to the school, tell your child about the change, and have your child give the note to their classroom teacher stating the needed change.
Written notes are to be sent whether a child does or does not take a bus and will be going home to another student’s house. Notes are needed from both sets of parents, the sending and the receiving parent, so that neither parent gets a “surprise visitor” or gets worried thinking that their child is lost.
2. If a phone call must be made by a parent regarding a change in dismissal, the office must be contacted before 1:30 in the afternoon. Since the office gets very busy, especially near the end of the day, a message called after that time may not reach your child in time for dismissal.
