KINDERGARTEN CELEBRATION INFORMATION
Kindergarten Graduation Celebrations as they will take place on Tuesday, May 20th. Each class will have a celebration and each student will be allowed two adults to attend. Each adult must be signed up to attend, sign up sheets have been sent home by classroom teachers. Please reach out to your student’s teacher if you need another form. To accommodate those who are not able to find childcare for their non school aged child, we will allow children that are not in school to attend the graduation ceremony with an adult and not count as one of the two guests who are allowed to attend for each student. Please note that if a child is school aged, they will count as one of the two guests. Other PR students cannot be removed from class to attend the ceremony without being signed out of school and counting as one of the two guests. Make sure to check the times listed below for each classroom’s celebration time.
