As a reminder, all students attending school on May 20th will go to the Chiefs game unless they did not meet behavior benchmarks for the 4th quarter.

A permission slip came home yesterday about attending the Peoria Chief's Baseball Game on Tuesday, May 20th for our 4th quarter behavior incentive. These permission slips and money need to be returned by Thursday, May 8th. On the permission slip, it outlines the benchmarks that students need to meet in order to attend.
