Dear Montgomery Families,

Our school uses PickUp Patrol (PUP) for parents to report absences and communicate dismissal plan changes. Notes, emails or phone calls are not accepted for changes. Calls are only taken in emergencies.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR

RETURNING Families: Please confirm your student's default plan on PUP by Friday, September 1st. For a safe dismissal, it’s essential that we know your student’s regular daily dismissal plans are correct before the first day of school. If you need to change your Default Plans please email me and I will update them for you.

NEW PARENTS: You will receive a registration email on Wednesday, August 30th with a link to set up your account. The PUP web app is FREE for parents and you can use it from your smartphone or computer. Instructions for how to add the app to your phone are included in the registration email. Please register and confirm your student's Default Dismissal Plans by Friday, September 1st. You will need to register before you can confirm the default plans. If you need to change your Default Plans please contact me and I will update them for you.

Thank you for using PickUp Patrol to make safety a priority and to ensure our dismissal process is efficient for all our students.

If you have any questions, please check the PUP Parent Guide. If you still need help, contact me at wwalton@montgomeryschool.org or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net. I will also be in Bell Hall on Welcoming Day to help with any dismissal questions.

Warmly,

Wendy Walton

Administrative Assistant to the Lower & Middle School Heads
