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!
