Early Dismissal

• If a student is to be dismissed early, parents should send the teacher a note. Teachers will forward the note to the office. Parents must come into the office to pick up the students for early dismissal. Please bring ID with you. We will check ID’s until we get to know everyone. Thanks for understanding; this is for your child’s protection.
• The safety and security of our students is paramount. All visitors must report to the office every time they visit Pleasant Valley. Ms. Messina, our school secretary, will have you sign in and give you a visitor/volunteer badge to wear while you are in the building. Visitors must stop into the office and return the badge before leaving.
