4. Helpful Hints for Parents Please remember to send a change of clothes for your student on a daily basis. This is very helpful in the event of an accident. Sometimes students become very excited about the prospect of paint, glue and other creative fun activities. * It is important that you ALWAYS send an excuse absence note within 72 hours of your child returning to school following an absence. Absences and tardies are monitored and have resulted in court actions. Please keep the paper trail to a minimum by sending a handwritten, signed note to the teacher. * Morning Pre-K Students: Dismissal will be at the front of the school using the car tag system. Parents should remain in their cars with the car-tag visible. Students will be brought to their respective car for pick-up. Afternoon Pre-K Students: Dismissal will be at rear of the school using the car tag system.
