Following the conclusion of this program parents are asked to leave the building immediately with their 8th grade child in order to facilitate the parking and seating for our second program.
Thursday, June 1, 2017, at 11:00 am -12:30 pm for students in the following homerooms: Ms. Becker, Mrs. Alvis, Ms. Hobson, Ms. Croom, and Mrs. Osborne, Mr. Williams. Following the conclusion of this program parents are asked to leave the building immediately with their 8th grade child to facilitate the arrival of buses and dismissal of the remaining 6th and 7th grade students.
This program will be held for all 8th graders who:
HAVE NOTfailed for the year.
ARE NOT suspended at the time of the program.
If your child does not meet the criteria for participation in the program, please make sure that he/she is aware that he/she will NOT be able to attend or participate in the program.
Students are expected to take care of any outstanding obligations before Promotion. This includes material fee ($15.), lost books (library or text books), cafeteria charges, and the return of any sports uniforms and laptops.
Because of the number of students in the 8th grade class, and the lack of extra seating, we are limiting the number of guests to4per student. Yourtickets are included, and we would appreciate you returning the unneeded tickets to the school for any students who may need additional tickets. Please keep your tickets in a safe place. We may not be able to replace lost or missing tickets due to seating concerns.
Students who are participating in the program are asked to dress in church or business attirefor this special occasion. Prom dresses or revealing attire will NOT be allowed. Because of the nature of the program, we ask that the boys and members of the audience NOT wear any caps or headgear. Young men are to wear long pants with button up shirts, and young ladies are requested to wear appropriate dresses. Students are not wear jeans or shorts. We ask all students to be at school on time! They may arrive as early as 8:20, but should be in their classroom by 8:30.
Thank you for your assistance and we look forward to seeing you on that very special day-----Promotion to High School!
