Update your child's dismissal plan today! Pick Up Patrol

Pick up Patrol is our guide for a safe and smooth dismissal each day. In preparation for Friday's first dismissal of the year, please login to Pick Up Patrol and ensure that your child's daily default plan is accurate.  Tips for using PUP Make sure your child's default plan is up to date in PUP. Daily changes need to be completed by 12:30 p.m. for KDG students. Daily changes need to be completed by 2:30 p.m. for Grades 1 and 2. Set a daily timer reminder so that you can check for PUP changes and check what you have submitted. Parents cannot make changes after the cut-off times. Teachers will follow whatever has been entered in PUP unless you have made contact with the office for a plan change. The office will make updates to bus information if transportation calls and needs corrected bus numbers for dismissal. ALL alternate bus changes need to be approved by transportation. If you have any questions about PUP, please call the school office and someone will assist you. Pick Up Patrol Transportation Department Phone Number: (513)272-4531 Stop Finder

My School Bucks

My School Bucks is an online payment program where you can load money on to your child's lunch account and pay school fees. Our team is working feverishly to update all information for 23/24 fee collection. We will let you know when that feature is ready to accept payments. In the meantime, you can still load money on to your child's lunch account. Never used My School Bucks before? Need a refresher? Click the link below. Click Here
