TDS Families,
Friendly reminder, that any parent/ guardian wanting to pick up students early after 2:20PM on regular days or 11:40AM on Wednesday will need to wait until the dismissal bell. As students prepare for dismissal and classes have internal movement in hallways to prepare for exiting, requesting a student at this time can be challenging. We ask for your patience and support to allow students to safely exit prior to picking up.
Thank you
TDS Admin
Familias de TDS,
Un recordatorio de que cualquier padre/madre o tutor que desee recoger a los estudiantes temprano después de las 2:20 PM en días regulares o a las 11:40 AM los miércoles deberá esperar hasta que suene la campana de salida. Mientras los estudiantes se preparan para la salida y las clases tienen movimiento interno en los pasillos para prepararse para salir, solicitar a un estudiante en ese momento puede ser complicado. Les pedimos su paciencia y apoyo para permitir que los estudiantes salgan de manera segura antes de ser recogidos.
Gracias
