Oh No, My Child Forgot This! Item Drop Off Area
To streamline the process of dropping off items and lunches for your child, we have designated the cubbies in the vestibule as the official drop-off spot. This will help ensure that all items are delivered to the correct student in a timely manner.
To assist with organization, we will provide sticky notes and pens for you to label your child's items with their name and teacher.
