Dropping your child to school
Pick up from school - depending on the school policy and your child,
your child might not stay the length of the day if their teacher thinks that they are too tired.
Occasionally your child might need to be picked up early from school if they are feeling poorly.

maintaining a dialog with your child's teacher.
If it is an issue that worries you,
