Frances Slocum Families,

We look forward to having you join us for our Fall Music Shows! (Reminder, there will not be a winter show because on our current specials class rotation Mrs. Porter will not be here for the 2nd nine weeks. Instead, we will have our Art/STEM showcase in December)

Please read the following information regarding Friday's shows. Please understand that we are moving around a lot of people in a small area, so these rules and guidelines are necessary for student safety, traffic flow, and timeliness.

-Students are encouraged to wear nice clothes with fall/autumn themes and colors, but NO HALLOWEEN COSTUMES or hats.
- Door 1 at the front office will be the only entrance. This is important for security reasons. Families arriving early may have to wait in the front area until being released back to the gym.
- Families may exit from door 7 right by the gym or out the front doors of the school. Door 7 by the gym will be your quickest exit.
- If parents are taking their child home after their performance time, parent must go to the front office to sign their child out. Students must leave the gym and return to classrooms after performances. They will be released from classrooms if you are taking them home.
- The gym MUST be emptied between performances and parents must wait in front waiting area if not exiting building. If you are attending consecutive performances for multiple children I know that can be inconvenient, but it is a necessity.

Thanks in advance for following these procedures as we hope to have a great, organized, safe day enjoying the talent and hard work of these students!
