Your eighth grade student will be bringing home a Field Trip Permission Form today outlining the upcoming trip to P-CEP for the Collage Concert.

 

Each year the eighth graders attend this assembly so they can be exposed to all the Visual Arts programs the high school has to offer.

The permission form says they will be attending the 10:45 a.m. presentation; however that has changed.  The eighth graders will now be leaving East at 9:00 a.m. and will see the presentation at 9:30 a.m.  They will arrive back at East at approximately 10:40 a.m.
