Parent Pick-Up- If you decide to come in the school instead of using the carline to pick up your child from school, you must wait in the cafeteria. We will take our class into the purple area of the cafeteria to meet you. Parent pick-up in the cafeteria starts at 2:25. If you are running behind, your child will be left with other JELV staff in the front of the cafeteria and you will probably have to show them your I.D. before they will let you take them. Our goal is to provide a smooth and safe dismissal, so we greatly appreciate your understanding of this procedure!

Lunch Numbers- Continue practicing your child’s 4-digit lunch number. We are now using it when we go through the lunch line on Thursdays. If you need your child’s number again, please let us know and we will send it home.
