If an emergency arises and you are unable to pick up your child on time, please call the office and inform us of the situation so we can assist.
If students are not picked up by 3:00 PM, we will contact the emergency contacts listed. If no arrangements are made, we will contact our campus police for support. Your cooperation in this matter ensures the safety and comfort of all our students.
