  • From a Hawk Talk newsletter from Dr St Clair:

    Student Early Check Out

    After 2:30 we do not permit families to check students out without a note. We earnestly want to protect instructional time during the last period of the day. If you know you need to check your child out after 2:30, please send a note by your child to give to the front office in the morning, call the front office before 2:30, or email Mrs. Misha Johnson, school secretary, to make her aware. We do not want to keep your child from you, but we also want to protect instructional time at the end of the school day.
