ATTENTION Elementary Parents/Guardians:
For the parade today, our students will finish and sit down at the Stekley Law Office. Once they are finished, you may pick up your child(ren) there. For safety reasons, they are not allowed to join you in the middle of the parade or walk to you after they are finished. You must come and pick them up from their teacher. Any students who are not picked up at the parade will be walked back to the school immediately after the parade and parents will be contacted. Thank you for your cooperation!
