This is our safety, at-tendance, and nametag procedure. Simply stop at a Check-In desk and the Check-In desk team will make sure you are registered. There you will receive a name tag to place on your child and a tag for yourself to use to receive your child at the end of the Education hour. The Education hour will run from 9-10:10am.
