With limited space in the classroom and the nature of the day, if a grandparent is attending, that counts as your child’s guest.
If your K-5 child does not have a grandparent that is able to join us, a special guest (not a parent) is welcome to attend in place of a grandparent. A special person is an aunt, uncle, or a friend of the family.
