EARLY DISMISSAL AND POOL PARTY PERMISSION


In years past, parents have enjoyed purchasing large cut outs of their child’s face to hold up during the clap out or to decorate cars. This is completely optional! Please note, it does require some lead time! If you are interested, we recommend ordering in early May. There are several options out there, but we know parents have used this site in the past: FatHeads
