Forrestal Elementary

Hello, Forrestal families. We've had a terrific first day of school! Just as a reminder, dismissal starts at 2:35 each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 1:35pm each Wednesday. Kindergarten / Kids Rank: Door 7 1st Grade: Door 6 2nd/3rd Grade: Door 9 All Bussers & Taxi Riders: Door 1 to board the buses *If you have siblings please arrange with the classroom teacher to send the older student to the younger student for dismissal ease. Parents are required to notify the office by 2:00 on M, T, Th and F of any change to the regular dismissal plan (1:00pm on Fridays). Changes and late dismissals are difficult to manage, so please try to be consistent and on time for your child's pick-up. Thank you and I hope your child had an amazing first day of school. If you need me, either email ckranz@d187.org or call my cell 847-775-7607. Respectfully, Cara Kranz, Principal
