Dear Builta Families,

If your child will be going home a different way than is noted on your child’s dismissal form, please follow the procedures below. Please note that we will only change dismissal procedures if contacted by parents. We want to make sure that students are dismissed to the appropriate responsible person and the correct location.

There are two ways to notify us:

1. A Note to the Teacher by 9:00 am: Send in a note with your child to turn in to the teacher in the morning. Or, email your child’s classroom teacher by 9:00. After the start of the school day at 9:00, please do not email your child’s teacher to change dismissal. Teachers do not have the opportunity to check emails while teaching. Please include the following information in the note to the teacher.

• Date of the dismissal change

• First and last names of the children

• Classroom teacher’s last name

• The way the students will be getting home (bus # if applicable)

• Parent’s complete name and phone number

2. Phone Call to the Office by 3:00 pm: If you are calling the school office to let us know about a dismissal change, you must call the office at 630-226-4400 by 3:00 pm. Include the following information in your phone call to the office.
