END-OF-YEAR AWARDS
The WSTA Staff is planning to hold its end-of-year awards ceremonies on Friday, May 22nd. The high school ceremony will take place at 11 am. The middle school ceremony will take place at 2 pm.
Individuals with a DBIDS card will be allowed access to attend the ceremony. ANYONE without a DBIDS card must request access by completing the attached Google Form. All drivers and passengers (ages 18 and above) must be listed on the Google Form. Only those individuals with DBIDS cards or those who complete THIS FORM will be able to attend the awards ceremony. The Visitor's Center will be closed on Friday, May 22nd, so our normal EAL will not be in place for this event.
On the day of the event, guests must provide one of the following acceptable forms of identification:
- State-issued REAL ID
- Passport or Passport Card with a state-issued ID (both must be current)
- Birth Certificate and Social Security Card with a state-issued ID (documents must be original or certified copies)
Guests under the age of 18 do not need to be added to the EAL, nor do they need to provide identification. The parent/guardian listed on the EAL will assume responsibility for them.
The Google Form will close Friday, May 8th at 12 noon.
