Attention Florence Roche Families,
Friday is a full day for students. Regular dismissal begins at 3:10. However, due to the anticipated stormy weather, we plan to begin loading and sending buses on the routes as soon as they arrive to us. This means your student may be arriving home 5-10 minutes early on Friday afternoon. The bus driver will not release grades K and 1 students without an adult present. Please plan for your students to be arriving home a few minutes ahead of their normal time. Thank you and have happy holiday break!
