A final note on lower school procedures - To ensure
the safety of your child, we ask that all communications for pick up go through the lower school office. This would include days your child goes home with someone not listed on your child’s pick up authorization form (you do NOT need to call if the person is on the form). If you would like your child to walk to soccer practice, music lesions and/or the bus stop we need to have this in writing before your child is released. You may email Mrs. Polhemus at hpolhemus@parkerschoolhawaii.org or Mrs. Nearman at knearman@parkerschoolhawaii.org to inform the school of these arrangements. Thank you for keeping us informed and helping us keep your child safe.
HOORAY!
