Important Day Care Bus - Reminder

 

If your child goes home on a day care bus, please call the day care and let them know if your child will not be riding the day care bus in the afternoon. This applies if you check out your child early and/or if your child is sick. It really helps our staff with dismissal procedures if the day care knows this information before they arrive at Brookwood to pick up students. Thanks for your help with this.
