  • Students will enter through the gym entrance for ALL dances
  • Dance hours are 6-8 pm
  • You must arrive promptly to be admitted to the dance

  • Students will sign in so we know who is at the dance
  • No guests from other schools are allowed at our dances
  • Students will not be allowed to leave the dance before the end of the dance unless prearranged with the team hosting the dance, the parent and the administrator
  • Students will be escorted by teachers and chaperones to the front lobby at the conclusion of dance for pick up
  • Please be prompt at pick up as we do not allow students to walk home
  • All pickups will occur through the front of the building
  • Most dances are held as fundraisers for the Learning Community and there is a small entrance fee

PICTURES AND REPORTS



WALKING WEDNESDAY RESULTS
One hundred and twenty three students and 19 adults (142 total) walked/biked or scootered to school on Wednesday morning. Temperatures were perfect with no wind or rain. The team with the largest turnout was the Investigators. Excellent work 1st-3rd graders! 

HOPE team members, and their assistants, served warm apple cider to arrivals in the walkway outside the entrance to the school. Delicious!
