Please bring the children to the church and we will assign teachers and classrooms Teachers have asked that parents

come to the classrooms and meet the teachers and they would like to talk with you about the upcoming year

After the first class the children report directly to the classrooms First grade children must be brought

directly to the classroom and picked up at the classroom as they will not be dismissed out to the parking lot

As we head into fall and winter, it becomes dark very early and by December, so be careful in the parking lot!

parents come to the classrooms for the first class for introductions

If your child has any health issues, allergies, learning  or emotional issues please let us know so we can make sure the child's needs are met

If you need to pick up your child before class ends please come to room 107 and sign your child out

An office person/ secretary/myself will retrieve your child from the classroom No child will be dismissed

to anyone without checking in at the office

If someone else is picking up your child  we need a note stating who, when, and why

Please do not roam the halls; dismissal will always be from the Pine street door
