Family Weather Plan - End of Day Dismissal

We wanted to pass along a strategy regarding our end of day dismissal procedure, especially when weather interrupts the normal routine of walking home, etc.  There will be days where rain or other weather arrives near the time when dismissal occurs, and we often receive a number of calls to communicate changes to individual student departure plans.  While we work diligently to communicate each of these forward through our office to teachers and then to students, we would encourage each family to have a consistent backup plan that your student is aware of in case the message does not reach him or her.  For example, one who would normally walk home might instead go to Boys and Girls Club (if enrolled) or meet you at a predetermined pick up location (out back or up front), just in case we are not able to successfully reach your student with the change in your preferred departure procedure.
