What do I do if my student has a dismissal change? 

Please send a note specifying the dismissal change for your student. If communicating by email, please send the note to the classroom teacher, copying our Attendance Secretary, Mrs. Norton, at Christine_E_Norton@mcpsmd.org . If the dismissal change is that your student will be riding a different bus to another student's home, a note from both families is required.
