HIGHLIGHTING THE TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE AT FLORENCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

We look forward to an exciting day of fun with this year's Mayfest!  We will kick off the day with our tradition of the Maypole dance at 8:10 on the blue top. 

Reminders:

• Bring a water bottle

• Wear play clothes (shorts, shirts) that allow for movement, activity and fun.  

• A change of clothes (or wear dri fit style that dry quickly after water activities, as students will be playing with water on the basketball court)

• A hat (optional)

• Wear closed toe shoes

• Wear sunscreen (students must apply it themselves, as we are not permitted to apply it for them)

• Students may bring a lunchbox or they may order a sacked lunch from the cafeteria

Guest Check-in:

We invite parents to join us as volunteers or spectators at the event!  Upon arrival, please check in at the gate located just in front of the north playground (next to the library entrance) to receive your visitor sticker.  If you have not previously checked in on raptor, you will need to check in through the front office. 

Adult Restrooms:

Adults may not use the student restrooms. Adults may use restrooms that are designated for adult use.  Please ask a staff member for guidance to the closest located restroom. 

Lunch Time:

All students will be having lunch at the same time this year.  Your teacher will confirm the lunch location for your child's grade level. Parents are welcomed to bring your own lunch and tp enjoy with your child in their lunch location. 

Student Early Check-Out:

While we encourage our students to stay for the entirety of the day, as there are many fun activities, if you would like to check out your child before the end of the school day, you will do so with your child's homeroom teacher and they will sign them out. 

End of the year Awards Ceremonies

May 22- EOY Award Celebrations (2nd Grade 8:00 AM, 3rd Grade 9:15 AM)

May 23- EOY Award Celebration/Clap Out (4th Grade 9:30 AM)

During the final week of school, we look forward to celebrating our students on their accomplishments this year.  Parents are invited to join us for the ceremony where each student will be called up on stage to receive their recognition envelope. 

Guest Check-in:

We invite parents to join us as we celebrate the end of the school year! Upon arrival, please check in with your government issued ID at the front door to receive your visitor sticker.  If you have not previously checked in on raptor, you will need to check in through the front office.   

• For our 8:00 AM ceremonies, parents may begin checking in at 7:30. 

• For the 9:15 AM ceremonies, we will begin check in at 9:00 AM.

Due to capacity and to ensure that students are able to participate in their class activities, FES student siblings of other grade levels may only attend their own assembly, with the exception of the fourth grade assembly and clap out. 

Student Attendance on Awards Assembly Days:

Please note- any student who is checked out before 9:55 AM will be considered absent for the day. We encourage you to keep your child at school for the remainder of the day as there are still end of the year class activities and tasks to complete as a part of the final week of school!  If you do wish to check out your child after the awards ceremony on Tuesday or Wednesday, you will need to do so through the front office.  We appreciate your patience, as we must process each check out one at a time through Raptor due to the time of day.

Fourth Grade Students and Siblings Only If you wish for the sibling(s) of your fourth grade student to join the fourth grade awards ceremony and clap out, please complete the form that will be sent out via email to fourth grade families next week to indicate your 4th grade student check-out and sibling participation preferences.
