Parents or guardians should not send people to pick up their children whose names are NOT on the release form. For the child’s safety, Latchkey personnel will not release your child/children to ANYONE not listed on the release form.

With the children’s safety and well being in mind, it is most important that parents complete an Emergency Transportation Form that will be kept on file in the Latchkey Program.

This form also gives permission for medical treatment from the facility chosen by the parent.
