Pick-up

The cast and crew will need to be picked up promptly at 4pm via the side door when rehearsals are in full swing. This is the same door where seventh grade students enter the building in the morning. Students are NOT permitted to leave through the front of the building, for their safety. If your child will be walking home please bring that to our attention in writing or by email/Parent Square. Please take advantage of this meeting and Google Classroom to get in contact with other parents to create a car-pool schedule if you will need one.
