Parents: Please sign up for Remind text messages on your cell phone. This will keep you up-to-date during the 2018-2019 school year. Follow the directions in the flyer that can be viewed here.

Parents:

If you need to make a change in how your child will go home once the child is at school, as our handbook states, please call the office before 1:30 pm.  It is important for you to call before 1:30pm in order for the office staff to have time to notify the teacher and student of the change so that your child can get home safely. 

• Changes may come in writing with the child.  The child will bring this note to the office. THIS IS THE PREFERRED METHOD OF COMMUNICATION.
  
  
• Changes may come by phone call to 334-585-7080 before 1:30pm.  If it is a bus change, please know the exact address where your child will be dropped off.
  
  
• WE WILL NOT ACCEPT CHANGES BY TEXT, EMAIL, OR VERBAL FROM YOUR CHILD.

Please schedule appointments for your child as late in the day as possible.  The teachers are teaching until 2:30pm daily.  When your child is checked out before 2:30, he/she is missing vital instruction time.  The car rider dismissal on Peachtree Street moves quickly.  It begins at 2:35 and is finished no later than 2:55.  Documentation will be required for repeated early check-outs!

Thank you for your cooperation!  Your child is very important to us!!!
