Reminders

Transportation Changes

If your child will be absent or requires a transportation change, please send an email to afno.attendance@dodea.edu & the homeroom teacher.
Changes must be sent by 12PM daily. 
 

In the subject line, please include the child's full name and specify ES or MS/HS.
 In the email, please include the following:
• Student's full name (no nicknames please)
• Date of absence(s) / transportation change
• Reason for the absence (attendance emails only)

Lunch Account Balance

The email reminders regarding low balance lunch funds are not automatically generated. 

The email is a courtesy sent by our office staff. While we try our very best to notify parents right away, it is the parent’s responsibility to check the lunch account funds.

School Visit Procedures

Please check in at the front office when volunteering for the school or dropping off belongings for your child. 

All classroom visits require an appointment with the teacher.

Arrival and Dismissal

All students may enter the school campus as early as 8:40 am.  

Drop off before this time is not permitted as supervision is not provided.  

Please note that students may not be sent to the office at dismissal to wait for their parents due to appointments or meetings.  

We kindly ask that you make the proper arrangements for your children.  

Thank you for your support to ensure the safety of our students.

A circular badge with a white edge and the text "National School Public Relations Association". The inner circle has a blue background with the text "Publications and Digital Media Excellence Award". The bottom of the badge has a ribbon with the year 2025 in the middle of it, and just below this ribbon it has the text "Award of Merit Website".

We’re excited to share that DoDEA has won the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) Publications and Digital Media Excellence Award – Website Award of Merit for our School Newsletters Project! This NSPRA award honors outstanding school communication efforts that help connect schools with their communities. This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our amazing school webmasters. Thank you for keeping families connected with your hard work and heart!
