May 18-May 29
May 19-Kindergarten will practice for graduation on Tuesday, May 19th in the morning at the High School.  Please try to have your child at school for this practice so he/she will know what to do for the evening ceremony on Tuesday.  Students may be walking to the high school, so please dress your child in shoes for walking.
Kindergarten Graduation will be held in the High School Auditorium beginning at 6:00pm.   Students should arrive at the upper level and report to the cafeteria around 5:15.   The ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 PM, so be sure not to be late and allow time for parking!  Tickets and more detailed information were sent sent home this week in your child’s folder.
Remember students will be wearing caps and gowns and will NEED to wear a WHITE-COLLARED shirt for the evening performance (NOT to school during the day).  Shoes will be visible so plan accordingly.  Girls should not wear hair accessories that will get in the way of the cap. 
 Due to construction at the high school, there is no air conditioning.  Please try to remember this when dressing your child since they will be wearing a cap and gown over their clothes.
 PLEASE NOTE:  Graduation caps and gowns must be returned to the teacher after the graduation ceremony.  Tassels are to be taken home as a keepsake.
