Parents are asked to please teach their elementary students where they will be going after school. Name and address of parents or the daycare center or sitter is absolutely necessary in seeing that these young students get on the right bus after school. It is very helpful to the teachers if this information could be sent to school with your child on the first day. Please help make your child's first day in school a success by sending bus information to their teacher.
