With our increased security measures, students being picked up early need to enter the office near the library rather than the back office doors.
Please do not park in the first 10 stops in front of the JTED building. Those are reserved for the preschool. Also, please do not make any U-turns in that area.
Parents:
Just a friendly reminder that any ill student that needs to go home must report to the health office before calling a parent. They can call their parent from the office.
We will not send passes up if parent arrives before the student reports to the health office.
Student may ask their teacher for a health office pass.
Parents, if your child is ill and you call them out as such, please keep them home. This will keep the germs from spreading.
