Please join us for the 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony on Wednesday June 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. in the River Oaks multi purpose room.

*****Reminders*****

Please arrive before the start time, as the celebration will begin promptly at 2:00 PM.
Please encourage your child to “dress for success” on promotion day!!! They will come to school dressed for the ceremony and will NOT have an opportunity to change clothes. The teachers will allow them to freshen up before the ceremony.
NO BALLOONS MAY ENTER THE SCHOOL!!!
These cause distractions and hazards. We appreciate your cooperation with this.
Please remain in your seats the WHOLE time during the ceremony, as you will have plenty of opportunities to take pictures after the ceremony.
Thank you parents for your constant support over the years in River Oaks Elementary School. Wishing each of them success as they continue on their educational journey!
