Students will walk the track for you to see them promote to High School. Please DO NOT keep umbrella's up during the ceremony. Others cannot see their child.

DO NOT LEAVE the venue after you child promotes, there are other children who are also promoting and it's a distraction and poor etiquette to leave during the ceremony.
