[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this either. My DD had a 5th grade promotion the day before the last day of school and the teachers emailed all parents beforehand to let them know that "parents traditionally sign their child out of school afterwards to a celebratory lunch." But kids are welcome to stay at school of course. Don't get why the school would basically be telling people to take their kids home. MybDD stayed and she said there were probably about 20 kids( out of 100) at school who didn't go home at noon. On a full day of school. Of course there was also "no learning" the next day as well.

This is a different situation than high school kids, or even 4th graders.  Parents presumably took the day off of work to come to the 5th grade promotion.  Most parents DO want to do something with their kid after the promotion since they are off anyway and want to make the day fun and special for their kid - a celebratory lunch afterwards sounds perfect.    
The school was acknowledging what most of the parents would do anyway.[/quote]

What is a 5th grade promotion?  I mean honestly, they all go to middle school.  This everyone gets a trophy generation.  PreK graduation, K graduation, 5th grade graduation, 8th grade graduation, Freshman Final day, Junior Day, Senior Day, Senior graduation.  Stop treating kids like every grade they complete deserves a freaking ceremony.  [/quote]
