Students Returning to School after Airshow

Several families have asked about taking scholars home with them from the AAFB Airshow. We are asking that families who are attending the airshow bring scholars to school to be marked present and then allow them to go to the airshow with you as a family. We are concerned about the accountability issues with taking scholars to an event and not bringing the exact amount of scholars back. If this was a grade level field trip we would be able to accommodate families with taking scholars home from the show. With this being a whole school trip, it would compromise safety and accountability. Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
