○ Storytelling and Oral Reading students need to be dropped off Friday, Jan. 21 at 9:30am at Argyle Intermediate. We will have a sign-in table at the front and will help students find the correct room.
○ For 5th grade and oral events on Friday, parents are dropping off and picking up for each event so we are asking parents NOT to wait inside with their child as we have limited space. ○ Storytelling and Oral Reading events start at 10am and will take around an hour. You can plan to pick them up at 11am or we will have them call if they are finished sooner. We will have a waiting room for all Argyle students. Students will be signed out when leaving the meet. ○ Students participating in oral events should not wear school shirts, but dress nicely. ○ Students may bring a snack and water bottle if they will be there a while.
Thank you,
