We want the dismissal process to be as efficient and safe as possible. We
ask that all walkers and Parent Pick-Up vehicles display the pick-up sign
that was issued at Open House. If you need an additional sign, please contact the front office. On rainy day dismissals, the pick-up signs will help
the adults assisting the walkers to identify you and your child in a more
timely manner. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
