Changes to a student’s daily going home plan

Occasionally, we need to change the plan of how our child is going home at the end of the school day.  Maybe Dad is picking up instead of riding the bus or Grandma will be at Kiss and Go instead of the parent pick up location in the Courtyard.  If this is the case for your family, we ask that a guardian send an email to the school office at PennyCreek@everettsd.org and the classroom teacher by 2:50 p.m.  Please include the name of your student, their teacher, and the change of plan.  Our office will deliver this information to your student. This method of communication helps to support our staff with accurate message delivery.
