Science Fair Info Tomorrow

Hello Lovely Families, 

We are so excited to be hosting the science fair for 3rd and 4th grade tomorrow, Friday, March 31st  in the 3/4 pod from 4-5 pm! You are welcome to bring family and friends to help celebrate this awesome exploration into scientific discovery. 

How this will look for pick-up:

Your 3rd & 4th graders will stay in class during carline time from 3:30-4.  We will do the final set-up and a snack break during that time in the classroom. If you are coming to the science fair you do not need to pick up ANY of your students in carline. You will pick them up when you enter the front door at 4 pm. Teachers know they may have students until 4 and are welcome to join you at the science fair. You will need to park in the back parking lot, the first section of parking and walk up to the front door entrance at the end of the carline. Please do not go through the carline, or park in the pickup area of the carline. We appreciate your assistance with making this a smooth transition and look forward to seeing you tomorrow! If you and your student are not able to stay for the science fair tomorrow, please email Ms. Papiernik at [email protected] that way we can make sure your student is ready for dismissal at the normal time. Thanks!
