early dismissal
1:00-3:30 PM
Little Hunting Park Pool (7000 Canterbury Lane, Alexandria)

• All 5th graders are invited to a pool party (there will also be volleyball and basketball)

• This is not a school-sponsored activity

• Every student must have a designated chaperone (it is acceptable for one chaperone to take responsibility for a group of students, but parents must pre-arrange this amongst themselves)

• No more than one person (adult) to accompany each student (so as to not exceed lifeguard capacity*)

• Carpools are fine, but again, this must be arranged in advance amongst parents

• If your child is not a strong swimmer, you must be in the water with your child

• Party ends promptly at 3:30

• If you are a current member of LHP, please use your member number at check-in (this will allow for the pool charge to be non-members only)

• We ask that chaperones help manage and facilitate the party and stay for clean-up

• What to bring: Bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, water bottle, shoes for sports (optional), money (optional) for snack bar

• Optional: We will have a designated tented picnic area for our group, so if you’d like, please bring treats, sides, drinks to share (store-bought, individually packaged)

• We want as many of our 5th graders as possible to participate in the pool party, so if there are
  circumstances preventing participation (financial, logistical, childcare for other children, etc),
  please let your classroom liaison know.

• Please use the following link to RSVP by May 27:
