New decals should be delivered this week. Please make sure decals are adhered to the upper right section of your front window on the passenger side (or hanging from your rearview mirror).

If your child will be dismissing a different way from the regular dismissal routine, please send a handwritten note the morning of OR an email before 12 noon. We can’t guarantee teachers will be able to check their emails as much during the day because of teaching responsibilities. Without parent notification, teachers will dismiss children their normal routine.
