In addition, we kindly ask that you note the following. 

When leaving a message or sending an email regarding your child, please be sure to include their teacher’s name. 

Additionally, if you are calling to communicate a change in your child’s afternoon plans and reach our voicemail, it simply means we are assisting others and unable to answer at that moment. Please do not leave a message for time-sensitive changes, as we may not be able to retrieve it in time. Instead, we kindly ask that you call back and speak directly with a staff member to ensure your message is received.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Warm regards,
Jennifer Case,  Principal
