🌺 **AFTERNOON TRANSPORTATION REMINDERS** 🌺
Parents & Guardians,
We understand that schedules change and sometimes afternoon transportation plans need to change, too. To help us make dismissal as **safe, smooth, and accurate as possible**, please keep these important reminders in mind:
🌴 **Have a plan each day.**
Please make sure your child knows how they will be going home before they arrive at school whenever possible. Consistent plans help us make sure every student gets where they need to go safely.
📞 **ALL transportation changes must go through the front office.**
**Do not send transportation changes through ClassDojo or directly to your child's teacher.**
👫 **Don't forget about siblings!**
If your transportation change also affects a sibling, **please tell the office the names of ALL students involved.** With so many students and families, our staff cannot always know or remember every sibling connection.
⏰ **Communicate changes as early as possible.**
The earlier we receive the information, the more time we have to communicate with teachers and staff and make sure everyone is in the correct place for dismissal.
🩵 **Clear communication = safe dismissal!**
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our afternoon dismissal running smoothly 🌺🌴.
