Please read the email below from Memorial Middle School regarding Friday's semi formal dance:
8th Grade Families,
We are now only a few days away from our annual 8th-grade dance. As was mentioned in my previous communication to you, the dance is going to look a little different this year based on COVID 19 protocol. With that said, I wanted to go over a few specifics one last time so you can prepare for Friday.
*IMPORTANT* Social distancing will be attempted to the best ability feasible given the nature of the event. While chaperones will attempt to disperse or space out large gatherings of student attendees, the possibility remains that your child may be in close contact with other attendees. With the procedures that are in place, we feel that this event is as safe of an environment as possible. That being said, should you or your child be at all uncomfortable with attending the event, it remains your choice to stay home.
