Pancakes for Pals - IMPORTANT
Pals can park in the gravel lot and go straight to the tent to find a seat. Please do not have pals come into the dome in the morning as it get to be too many people. Students will come to their classrooms as normal on Friday morning because teachers need to take attendance before taking their class out to the tent. Please be patient as classes will be coming out a bit staggered so everyone is not waiting in line at once. We will start dismissing classes at 8:10. Feel free to leave whenever you need. Your student will stay seated in at the table until their class is finished eating, then they will go back to class and continue with their day.
