📢 Dismissal Reminder: Please Be Courteous! 🚗
As we continue to follow our digital afternoon dismissal process, we ask that everyone kindly join the end of the line. Cutting in or entering from a side street not only frustrates others who have been patiently waiting but will also prevent your student’s name from being entered in the digital system in the proper order, causing your wait time to be longer.
Let’s work together to make dismissal smooth for everyone! Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
