If you want to early dismiss your child, we will have clipboards at the main entrance. Do no block traffic around the circle please. Once you fill out the form, we will call to the classroom to have your student brought to the office for dismissal. This may take some time so please be patient. Students are now using the washrooms and having lunch if it was delayed.

More information will follow from the district, but at this time, students and teachers are released from staying in their classrooms. Please do not rush to Forrestal. We will provide additional directions if you want to early release your student, but please give us an opportunity to establish a safe process to do so.
