IMPORTANT
If the school should have to close during school hours, the homeroom parents use a telephone tree to inform the parents of early dismissal. Working parents are encouraged to arrange supervision for their child in the event of an early dismissal. It is critical that the school have emergency phone numbers for your child. If early dismissal is necessary every effort will be made to contact a parent/guardian. BE PREPARED! All students will be sent home even if we are unable to contact a parent or person listed as an emergency contact.
Please DO NOT telephone the school: our lines must be open for official announcements.
In the event of any early dismissal, the school asks that the last student dropped off by their bus to call the school office. This way we can verify the bus has safely completed its run.
