Car Rider Tags at DeWitt Elementary:
We know that after a long break sometimes things get moved or go missing. If you have misplaced your students car rider window tag, please let your students classroom teacher know and we will get another one sent home ASAP.
On days when it is raining, it is very important that your car rider tag is displayed prominently in the front window. This helps us get all students into the correct vehicle in a timely manner and keeps the line from backing up and causing traffic issues at the schools.
As always, if you have any questions, call the DES Office at 870-946-4651
