Delay/Closure Procedures
Dear Families,
Continuation is on Friday!  We are excited to welcome you to this event recognizing all of the hard work your children have demonstrated over their elementary school career.  A few logistics for the day:
  • We will be opening the door on the side of the gym (east side of building) at 9am.  
  • Coffee will be served at 8:30am on the east side of the building while you wait in line to enter.
  • The doors to the gym inside the school will be locked.  School will still be in session and other grade level students will be arriving so we need to keep this area available.
  • Should you choose to take your child out of school after continuation, you will need to sign him/her out with a designated staff member (5th grade teachers, Mrs. Alpern, and Ms. Rickert) outside on the blacktop.  This absence will be excused. 
  • Unfortunately, due to nutrition service guidelines we are no longer able to have Kona Ice after the event.  Please take some time on the playground to have children sign yearbooks. 
We look forward to a wonderful day celebrating our kiddos and their accomplishments. 
 
Sincerely,
The 5th Grade Team
