Update on Carpool Tags/Authorized Pickup Cards
| |
 |
Carpool tags and pickup cards with each family’s unique number were distributed to the youngest child in each family on their first day of school and at MTTD for grades 1-7. Anyone authorized to pick up your child will be asked to show the card at pick-up; parents may send a picture to the authorized pickup person OR request an additional tag from the office. Parents using the HABC carpool line are asked to display the tag in their rearview mirror.
Update for 23-24: The HABC office will tag students' backpacks in grades 1-7 during the first few weeks of school with their family carpool number. In the meantime, please make sure your child's backpack is clearly labeled with their name. Parents can use one of the number cards for this purpose if they choose to do so. Please contact your child's teacher if you did not receive your family's carpool number.
