If parents are at the parade and plan on picking up students at Ford, please leave right after we pass you.  DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE PARADE ENDS TO START HOME.

If you are taking your child home directly from the parade, please send in a note to be given to the bus chaperone. Our dispersal/pickup area is at Oakbrook Elementary, behind Heritage Jr. High.  

* IF the weather is anticipated to be cooler (in Michigan, one never knows), I will get the word out for modifications to the summer uniform. Past modifications have included blue jeans, long sleeve t’s etc.)
