Releasing of Students

Anytime a student is being released, we require photo ID to be shown prior to entering the building. This will be crosschecked with the emergency information in our system. If you would like to add anyone to your emergency authorization list, contact Diane Liming or Joanne Morgan at 703-590-0344. Please let the office know if someone different will be picking up your child.
