Additional Dismissal Information

It is important we know your child's normal dismissal plans. Be sure to communicate this information to your child's teacher at the beginning of the school year. If there is a change to this dismissal plan on a particular day, contact the school office at 319-688-1130 as early as possible. We will pass that information along to your child's teacher. ALWAYS call the office with any changes to your child's "normal" dismissal plan. Calling the office is the only way we can ensure we know about the change. Emails should not be sent since they may not be read in time by the secretary, principal, SFA or your child's teacher.
