Change in Pick-Up Procedures for after school:

Our safety team looked at our after school pick up process at the request of a parent. As a result, we will be changing the way Pick-Up procedures work for our afterschool pick-up time for grades 1-6. We will send out more information regarding the changes and how they will effect parents and student next week. The changes will not be implemented until 9.16.2024

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility regarding these changes for safer pick-up procedures. Keep your eyes out for the NEW procedure information coming out NEXT WEEK.

Sending all of our Needham Knights Peace and Blessings!

Sonja Renhult, Principal
