All Upper School girls participating in Madame Day activities should be dropped off at the Upper School campus no later than 7:55 a.m. (transportation will be provided for these students to the Learning Village for Lessons & Carols).
All other students in grades 5-12 should come directly to the Conway Convocation Center on the morning of the December 20 for the 10:00 a.m. service.

DISMISSAL
Following the conclusion of the Lessons & Carols service at 11:15 a.m., students in grades 9-12 and their parents will dismiss first. Those Upper School parents with a student in grades 1-8 should remain seated until Upper School families have dismissed. Students in grades 5-8 will dismiss from their normal drop-off/pick-up location. Students in grades 1-4 will dismiss from the front entrance of the Learning Village. In grades 1-8, older siblings will dismiss from their younger siblings pick-up location.
PARKING
As we expect a large turnout for this event, please assist us by parking only in designated areas. Attendees will be permitted to park on the right-hand side of the main loop on the Belfield Campus from the main entrance to the campus to the top of the hill by the Pre-School. Please do not park on the road from the Pre-School Building to the Middle School pick-up/drop-off area, as this will impede dismissal traffic after the event. Upper School students driving to the Learning Village from the Greenway Rise Campus should park at the soccer field.
Vans will circulate around the Belfield Campus to shuttle attendees from their parked cars to the Conway Convocation Center. Shuttles will be available prior to Lessons & Carols only.
AFTER CARE (ASEP)
ASEP will not be offered on Friday, December 20.
