Permission slips:  Capstone ends around noon, so please sign your child's permission form so they can be checked out or walk home after Capstone.   These slips are due Thursday morning to homeroom teachers.  Children without signed forms will report to Ms. Karably on the gym floor after Capstone and go back to RMS.

Attire:  Students should wear their formal attire with comfortable shoes for the ceremony. In the past, students typically have worn button-down shirts, ties, slacks, nice shoes, dresses, and/or skirts. We will be walking over from RMS so students should wear comfortable shoes. 

Personal Items:  We advise that students don't bring backpacks to school on Friday.  There won't be a place for them to store personal items and if they bring anything, they will have to carry it all day.
