Walkers​: 
If you are changing your child’s method of dismissal,​ ​please send in a​ ​written​ ​note​ to your child’s homeroom teacher in the morning. If you are picking your child up at dismissal, please write a note indicating he/she will be a 'walker'. Please indicate who will be picking up your child. Please do not email your child's teacher with changes in dismissal.  S.P.S. will continue to use the PickUp Patrol App this year to manage dismissal. Thank you!
