After school plans and food allergies/needs
please respond to the email sent out by the K teachers letting us know how your child is going home after school - Bus? SAC? Picked up by a trusted adult?
let us know if your child has any food allergies or other dietary needs
Drop off and pick up
drop off your child in the morning at the K/1 side door by the preschool fence
we kindly ask families to wait at the fence along the big field to give all K/1 students space to line up with friends
pick up your child at the same door, waiting at the fence - your child will give a teacher a high five, fist bump, hug, etc making sure that we see you and you see a teacher and your child for a safe exchange
drop off starts at 7:45am, school starts at 7:50am and pick up is 2:40pm - 1st-5th dismiss at 2:50
we dismiss 10 minutes before the rest of the school gets out to ensure a safer dismissal for all
Please don't hesitate to email BOTH the K teachers if you have any questions. We are excited to see everyone next week!

Preferred Methods of Communication
The best way to contact us is by email or written notes.
We try to respond within 24 hours.
In cases of emergencies (ie. running late, have a different way of going home), call the main office 720-561-3800.
We usually do not answer phones during school hours because we are teaching and learning! We do answer phones if we see that there is a call from the office.
We are happy to talk after school when all children are safely where they need to be!
We can schedule a time to discuss concerns and questions.
