Lower School Grandparents Day – One of our favorite days of the year is coming up this Friday, March 11th – Grandparents Day! Please see the event schedule below. A dismissal permission slip will be sent home in student folders next week. This is to let us know if your child will be leaving with their grandparent or going to regular car line. Grandparents Day is a half-day of school with dismissal at 11:45 AM. Students should wear campus wear clothes not spirit wear. There will be no after-school care due to the half-day of school. The bus will run on a half-day schedule.

    • 9:15 Classroom Visits, Tours, Refreshments
    • 10:00 Class Presentations for 2nd – 4th Grades in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR)

If the student is in PK3-1st Grade, grandparents will come at 8:45 and stay through classroom visits. If the student is in 2nd-4th Grade, grandparents will come for classroom visits at 9:15 and stay through the presentations. If the grandparent has children in both groups, they are invited to come at 8:45 and stay through the entire event. Due to space limitations, please be reminded that this is a special time for grandparents and their grandchildren.
