***PARENTS/GUARDIANS***
There will be no students dismissed after 1:45 unless previously arranged. We encourage you to send your child in with a note for every early dismissal to keep our classroom interruption to a minimum. When picking up your child for early dismissal there is no need to come into school if you’ve sent them with a note and called to confirm.
