The door will be locked, but at 3:50pm Ms. Kristyn, Jillian or I will be down there to greet parents and welcome the kids into the building! If you will be arriving late/picking up early, please text your teachers to let them know you have arrived and one of the TAs will come down to let them in. Ms. Jillian (518) 210-8090 or Ms. Kristyn (518) 653-6848.
