If you are planning to attend, we ask that you please keep the following key points in mind:
- Students in pre-k to grade five must be accompanied and supervised by an adult if they wish to attend an afternoon or evening session. Middle school students may attend on their own.
- When you attend an afternoon or evening session, we ask that you and your child(ren) plan to stay for the entire session to show support for all of our presenters.
- If your child is enrolled in after school or an after school enrichment class and would like to attend an afternoon Capstone presentation session with you, a DISMISSAL CHANGE SLIP MUST be given to Barbara Carey at the front desk NO LATER than 9 a.m. on the morning of the presentation. These students will be dismissed to the adult specified on the dismissal form at their dismissal door.
- After school program staff are not able to take students to the afternoon presentations.
- If your child is not enrolled in after school and he or she wishes to stay to attend an evening session on Wednesday or Thursday, you may sign up for emergency after school care (3:30 to 5:45 p.m.) for a fee of $55. To sign up, fill out a DISMISSAL CHANGE SLIP, attach a check, and give these to Barbara Carey at the front desk NO LATER than 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the presentation. Reminder: after school dismissal starts at 5:30 p.m. and ends at 5:45 p.m.
