Reminders

Early dismissals, material drop offs and messages

In an effort to reduce the number of classroom interruptions, please note the following:

  • Please plan ahead and send a note or use Skyward Family Access to request early dismissal. A pass should be picked up in the front office in the morning, or will be given to the student at lunch to be excused. 6th graders are accustomed to being called down from elementary school, however middle school students leave to meet their parents in the office independently after showing their teacher a blue pass.
  • If there is a need to drop off a forgotten item, a notice will be sent to the student during their lunch period letting them know it is in the front office for pick up.
  • We will do our best to honor last minute after school arrangements. We can typically accommodate requests made before 2:00 p.m.
