Honor's Day is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20th, in the Leopards Den Gym, across from our parent pick up area. You should have received an invitation if your child is receiving an award. The 5th grade will start at 8:30 am. 4th grade is at 10:30 am, and 3rd grade is at 12:30 pm.

If you want to check your child out after honor's day, you must have your driver's license. If you arrive before Honor's Day starts, you may go directly to the checkout tables in the Leopards Den Gym and pre-checkout your child. If you go through pre-checkout, you will be given a ticket with your child's name that you must provide to the staff member at the exit doors on the way out with your child. You may also go to the checkout tables after the Honor's Day Program to sign out your child and then exit through the gym doors.

Thank you for your support!
