ECE Pick-up Reminder:

This is a reminder that ECE dismissal is at 2:45 PM. This means you must be at your student’s designated dismissal door/area right at 2:45 PM.

At 2:55 PM, your child is considered late for pick-up. If you arrive at or after 2:55 PM, please stop by the main office, ring the doorbell, and let office staff know you are picking up an ECE student and provide the teacher’s name. You will then return to the designated pick-up area for your child’s class.
