Clinton School Resource Officer Encouraging Families to Keep School District Updated on Your Family Circumstances

Most kids in Illinois will return to school at some point this week and local authorities are reminding families to keep their schools updated on the latest information for drop-off and pick-up purposes.

 

Clinton Police Department School Resource Officer Mike Bennett says the first thing for families to do is make sure their child knows where their bus pick-up and drop-off locations are. 

 

 

For the district, it is important for school personnel to be aware of who can and cannot pick up their children. Officer Bennett says to make sure contact information is also updated as it can be a point of frustration if someone cannot be reached regarding issues during drop off and pick up.

 

 

As it relates to picking up at school, Officer Bennett implores parents to make sure their students know who will be picking them up each day. Additionally, the school needs to be updated on who can or cannot pick up your child, and any proof or documentation they may need will have to be filed with the district as well.

 

 

Additional pieces of advice as school gets set to return, make sure parents get kids to school on time. It can be disruptive to the learning environment and harmful to the child if they are frequently tardy to class. 

 

Last week, Officer Bennett reminded Clinton parents and people in the community to be aware of the coming influx of traffic around schools and to plan accordingly at the beginning and end of the school day.
