Dear Parent / Guardian,

As the New Year begins, I want to take a moment to make sure that each of us knows our after school routine/plans. It seems that there have been a few students in other rooms that have attempted to make changes without the proper verification and this has caused some confusion and delays. My understanding is that in each of these situations, changes in routines had occurred and that information was not conveyed to all of the participating parties. So, I’m asking that each of you review your after school routine with your child and send a list of that information back to me. Again, I just want to make sure that those of us in our room are not confused on where to go and where to be located at the end of the day. Please recall that if changes are necessary, the school needs a written note indicating a change in the daily routine. Hopefully, reviewing this plan with your child and their teacher will avoid any possible confusion in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this form!

Mr. Krupa
