Principal Grassa’s Pawprints 10/08/18

Sibling Walker Dismissal Procedure: Here is some clarity for sibling walkers in the afternoon who will dismiss from the Lower School.

• Ms. Solomon-Key will walk down the 3rd grade, then 2nd grade hallways to collect sibling walkers. Then, she will escort the group across the ramp into the lower school.
• Ms. Bello will stand at the end of the ramp in the lower school and meet the group (and any other older siblings that are sibling walkers).
• K1, K2, and 1st grade sibling walkers will go with their grade level walkers. Parents will pick up younger siblings at their respective locations. The parent and younger sibling will then meet the older sibling group (with Ms. Solomon and Bello) outside in the Lower School courtyard by the mural.
