Emergency Contact List & Change in Pick-Up Procedures
Dear Clyde W. Needham Families!
Student Emergency Contact List
Please be sur that you have updated the emergency contact list in AERIES for your child. We cannot release your child to anyone that is NOT on the list if they need to be picked up early from school. Please be sure this list is up to date with the name and contact information of the people that you want to be able to pick up your child from school.
Change in Pick-Up Procedures for after school:
Beginning Monday, September 16 we will have a different procedure for our afternoon pickup time after school.
- Students will no longer wait for parents outside of the gate in our parking lot. Students will now line up on the blacktop side of the gate and face the parking lot to watch for their car and parent.
- Parents who enter the parking lot in a car should remain in the car. Once your child sees your car we will send them out to you to enter the car in the pick up lane.
- Parents who walk up to campus to pick up their child will need wait outside of the entrance to the blacktop until their child meets them there.

Sending all of our Needham Knights Peace and Blessings!
Sonja Renhult, Principal
