📣 Watson Families,
As we prepare for our Promotion Ceremonies tomorrow, we want to send a few important reminders regarding expectations for the day.
Students should arrive dressed in the requested attire for their grade level ceremony. Each grade has been provided with specific attire expectations, and we ask for your support in ensuring students are appropriately dressed for this special occasion.
Please remember that all students must report to school first in order to participate in the ceremony. Students will be transported by the school to the ceremony location. This helps us ensure that all students are properly prepared, organized, and in the correct placement for the program.
Additionally, please remember that helium balloons will NOT be allowed inside the church sanctuary. We ask that families please honor this request from the facility.
Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to celebrating our students and having a wonderful promotion day tomorrow!
