EARLY PICKUP REMINDER
Holy Family currently has over 750 kids. To help things run smoothly, please follow these pick up procedures:
1. Please sign your children out before or after recess. It is extremely difficult to find them on the yard.
First Recess 10:43 - 10:58
Lunch - 12:22-1:24 - Pick up by 12:30
Second Recess 2:48- 2:58
2. Send a note to your child's teacher indicating what time your child is being signed out.
3. After 3:30 you will have to go to the back field for pick up. It is too difficult for us to track students after this time.
4. Remember that children do not wait in the office for pick up, they are waiting in their classroom, which means they need a few minutes to get their things when they are called out. If you need them at a specific time, you should arrive 5-10 mins early.
5. BUS/ DAYCARE FAMILIES: Please make every effort to communicate changes to pick up arrangements to your teacher with a note. If you have to call in a late change, please call by 3:00. Classes are often on the move and it is difficult to find you student. We don't want the message to get missed.
Thank you for your help with this!
REMINDERS
PINK VERIFICATION SHEETS
By now you should have received a PINK sheet with family contact information. Please make corrections if needed, sign both sides of this form and return it to the school whether there are changes or not. The signature confirms a parent has seen the form.
EMERGENCY MEDICATION & YELLOW SHEETS
For those with life-threatening medical conditions, the YELLOW Plan of Care forms have been sent home. Please return the form AND send the medications to the school ASAP preferably by Monday. Please do not hold the medication at home because you are waiting for a doctor's signature, send the medication so it is on hand at the school. JK students will receive this form next week.
TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT
Please ensure this is reviewed and returned.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES FOR THE FIRST DAY
To help with a smooth end-of-day tomorrow, could you please send a note to your child's teacher about how they are getting home.
Also, just a reminder for bus students: You MUST send a note if you are picking up your child. If there is no note, the child goes home on the bus.
Thank you for your help, can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!
