Please let me know if there are any carpool issues which need to be figured out from getting child to the train station OR getting child from train station to be picked up.

I do have a list of chaperones and they are back ground checked to be able to transport a child if need be. The child does need to be picked up at 2:24 pm. from the train station to go home. If you have day care providers- they will need to pick up your child there at the train station – unless you have made other arrangements.

Thank you,

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan
