Do you need to sign your child out?

A reminder to parents and caregivers that if you are giving permission to sign students out during school, you will need to e-mail, use the SchoolBridge app or the office needs to sight a text message that we can verify is from you. Advanced warning reduces the time it takes to process your student's release from school and avoids having to ring while you are driving or the risk of getting to an appointment late. Thank you for your support.
