Grandparents with Grandkids in both elementary and junior high/high school, you are welcome to bring ALL of your grandchildren and stay for both sessions. Games will be available between sessions to pass the time as a family.
While we appreciate parents wanting to be involved, we kindly ask that Grandparents’ Day be reserved for grandparents figures only.
Grandparents may leave with their grandchildren after the festivities.
RSVP is not necessary.
We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating this wonderful occasion together! If your children's grandparents are unable to attend or are no longer living, you are welcome to invite another relative or close friend to accompany your children on this special day. We understand that Grandparents’ Day can be challenging for those who have recently lost a grandparent or for other reasons. In such cases, students will not be marked absent if they choose not to participate.
For students who still plan to attend school on Grandparents’ Day, but do not have a grandparent figure present, those students will report to the auditorium balcony upon arrival.
