Please try to drop your child off as close to 8 am as possible Tuesday morning so he/she can make a flag and get settled before we start at 8:45am. Please refer to the Gator Games Information in your child's Google Classroom or in the email I sent out on Thursday as to what your child needs for the day! I will take lots of pictures to share!
