Safe Arrival - help needed on Monday mornings

If you are free Monday mornings between 9:00 am - 10:00 am, please consider helping out with this great program. Volunteers call parents if a child does not report to school and no message was received regarding the absence.
 
What's the purpose of the Safe Arrival Program?
  1. To alleviate potential concern by notifying parents if their children do not arrive at school. 
  2. To comply with the school district's requirements that the school keep a record of excused absences
Please contact volunteers@horacemannptsa.org to volunteer!
