“Today’s dismissal will occur at the usual times and follow our regular protocols. That said, know that if you wish to pick up your child from school you may do so, but will need to be patient as the schools verify the identity of those making an emergency pick up. Students are being allowed to call home to see if any special arrangements might be needed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this temporary emergency.”
