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.
Any student in grades K-12 that does not get picked up by 4:15 and/or does not have self-checkout authorization, will report to aftercare.
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.
The MIS Back 2 School Bash will end promptly at 5:30 pm.
