This event is open to all students in the school. If grandparents are unavailable for any reason, students are welcome to invite a Special Visitor (aunt, uncle, parent, godparent, special family friend, etc.) as a substitute.
It is not required that every student have a grandparent/special visitor at school that day.
If your student does have a grandparent/special visitor that day, the following procedure should be followed:

2. Grandparents/Special Visitors meet in the gym at 10:00.
3. AFTER the welcome ceremony in the gym, Grandparents/Special Visitors go to the classroom or the designated area to pick up the student/s.
