Transportation Changes
Please make sure to contact the school office at 765-629-2323 if you have a transportation change. Classroom teachers may not be able to check emails until the end of the day and therefore may miss the message. Changes need to be made by 2:00 p.m.
According to the Milroy Elementary Handbook, "All students will be sent home according to the instructions parents provide at registration unless there is written notice or phone communication from the parent or guardian. If unexpected changes in transportation occur, please contact Milroy Elementary School Office prior to 2:00 p.m."
Thank you for your help with this!
