Families, this is a friendly reminder to contact the office before 2:30 pm Monday through Thursday or before 11:15 am on Friday if you need to leave a message for your student. If your student’s end-of-day plans change, such as being picked up instead of walking or needing to ride the bus, calling early helps ensure we can deliver the message in time. Thank you!

Familias, este es un recordatorio amistoso para comunicarse con la oficina antes de las 2:30 p. m. de lunes a jueves o antes de las 11:15 a. m. los viernes si necesitan dejar un mensaje para su estudiante.
