Dear Parents:
We have a wonderful opportunity to have a free presentation by Kaiser Permanente of their “Nightmare on Puberty Street” theatre group for our 8th and 9th graders. We have an assembly scheduled for September 19th.
You may download a parent guide on their website and I will provide the link here: http://xnet.kp.org/etp/ncal/shows/nightmare/index.html
We will also have paper copies in the office in English or Spanish.
If you would like to “opt out” your child from the assembly, please contact Mrs. Kennedy via phone call or email and leave us your child’s name. We will provide an alternative place for them to work or study during the assembly.
Thank you,
Alicia Cummings, Principal
