RSVP for Holiday Parties
For the safety of our students, we are
asking that everyone pre-register for the
holiday parties. This allows us to “check
in” all visitors for our party day prior to
the day to save all some time. Visitors
who have not pre-registered will need to
wait in line to check-in at the front office.
Please keep in mind the system is very
slow and may take a while, which could
result in your being late to or missing the
party. Once you have pre-registered, we
will send your name tag home on the
Thursday before the party. Please wear
your name tag and enter through the
front doors. All pre-registered visitors
will wait in the cafeteria until party time.
Please note that if you lose your
sticker, or don’t have it for any
reason whatsoever, you will have to
stand in line in the office to check in
with your license in hand.
We will be limiting the number of
visitors for each student to 2 people;
who these people are is the choice of
each child’s parent or guardian.
RSVP forms were sent home last
Thursday. If you need another, have
your student visit the front desk.

1. If a child is reported absent for
the day, he/she cannot come to the
school to attend the party or for any
other reason.
2. Once a child is checked out of
school for the day, they cannot come
back to our school or campus.
3. Children who attend middle

dismissed, checked out of their own
school or who were not in
attendance at school that day will
not be allowed to attend any of
McFee’s parties.
4. No outside food can be brought
to the party. The only food allowed
will be that brought in and/or
