New this year!  Instead of filling out the orange form when your child has a change in their dismissal is our Eastover Dimissal Change Form.  While you can still send in the orange form with your change of plans, the digital form is a more efficient way of communicating the change with our office.  The QR Code above is a quick way to submit your information.
