All homeroom teachers should switch back to homeroom classes by 8:45 AM.
All teachers without a homeroom are asked to assist with the parade. Access the map HERE.
Classes will walk ONCE around the blacktop in the bus lot. Please walk SLOWLY so that parents have every opportunity to see their student(s).
