Reminder: Please communicate any transportation changes by 3:15 PM each day, and ensure all early pick-ups are completed by that time. There is significant movement and activity in the building, which makes it difficult to guarantee that last-minute changes are properly communicated.

Mrs. Colman does her best to accommodate requests and remain flexible, and your cooperation helps ensure everything runs smoothly.
