- End of the day changes: Please refrain from contacting your child's teacher through Seesaw about any end of the day changes for your child. Please get in touch with the elementary office about these changes. New! The elementary office now has a Seesaw page. You can search Kayla Robbins in Seesaw if you want to send a message for the office to see. Thanks!
- Other helpful reminders about new dismissal procedures:
- Walkers will walk out with their class and proceed to the appropriate crossing guard.
- Students who walk to their parent's vehicles in the parking lot: Parents/guardians MUST pick up their child at the parent pick-up location. Again, this ensures your child's safety.
