Dismissal
All students must participate in the show finale – no early dismissals are permitted. Due to ongoing construction around the venue, dismissal plans will be sent closer to the show date and will be available in the program on the day of the show.
Students must be signed out by an authorized parent/guardian at these exits. Alternatively, if selected on the Permission Form, students may return to their school via bus for parent pickup there.
Please note: NO students will be dismissed early, and families are not allowed backstage at any time. Both performances will be photographed and photos will be made available to all families on CAP’s Facebook page.
Dismissal Procedure
Students will be dismissed via the Terry Lobby, accessible on Hogan Street, from the specified locations depicted below. Please refer to the signage at Showcase for your student’s dismissal door. Students must be signed out by a parent or guardian.
In order to make this process as quick and easy as possible, we ask that you do not crowd around the dismissal doors to allow all families the opportunity to sign out their student(s).
