No hats or shorts and boys will wear pants and a collared shirt. Girls can wear a dress, skirt or pants. Students will show up at the regular time to school and come to class.  We will line up in alphabetical order as a grade level and then we will let the commencement begin!
After the graduation and slide show the students will sign it out with their teacher and get their report cards.
It has been an amazing year and I  count myself blessed to have taught your child this year!
All the best,
Mr. Sweet
