All students attending the festival need to be supervised by an adult. If your student will be supervised/checked out by an adult other than a parent/guardian, please be sure to submit a written approval for checkout authorization to carpool@misatl.org
Students in grades 9-12 with self-checkout authorization are allowed to self-checkout and attend the festival without an adult.

Students will not be allowed back in the building once they exit for the festival except to use the restroom accompanied by a parent, and are therefore responsible for ensuring they have all their necessary belongings.
