“Hello! There has been a slight change to the 8th grade dance. Students can arrive to the FRONT of the school as early as 5:30 for picture opportunities. After they have gotten their pictures, make sure they have signed in with the table and they will line up to make a small loop around the front sidewalks to parade in front of parents before entering the building at 6pm. Pickup will be promptly at 9pm at the front of the building. No one will be released before 9pm unless a parent is present at the front door. Again, please arrive to the FRONT of the school as early as 5:30, parade will begin shortly before or at 6pm. Dinner will be served throughout the evening for those who wish to eat.
