Learning Gate News 2018-19

From Ms. Pratt

Thank you for being patient with dismissal as everyone is figuring out what time is best to pick up students. Please remember to not come before your child’s dismissal time. It blocks the line and earlier dismissal families can’t leave. If you come too early you will be asked to park in the north parking lot and sign in to get your child or leave the line and come back later. If you wish to pick your child up from the bench you must sign in the front office with your driver’s license.
