Due to the volume of requests and the possibility of multiple classroom interruptions, the office staff is unable to deliver personal messages to children except in the case of an emergency. Parents who need to deliver lunches to students, may deliver them to the front office for student pick up. Parents should try to make arrangements for transportation to and from school before the child leaves for school in the morning. Messages can be left for students in cases of emergency and every attempt will be made to deliver emergency messages, but it is not always possible to contact a child before the end of the day, especially on short notice. Items that may cause disruption to classroom instruction, such as balloons, flowers and gifts, will not be delivered to the classrooms.
