Wednesday, June 5th we will be saying goodbye to our fabulous 8th graders. These students have worked hard and are now ready to be promoted to high school. Promotion is a special occasion where we recognize their achievements. Please see details listed below for the Promotion Ceremony.

• The Promotion Ceremony will be on June 5th at 9:00 am on the blacktop behind the Gym. The ceremony usually lasts a little less than one hour.
• 8th graders in the Promotion should arrive in the Gym no later than 8:00 am to prepare for the ceremony. Students should dress appropriately for a more formal ceremony and should still be in Dress Code. (See below)
• Seating is first come first serve and there are no tickets.
• Families can check out their students for early dismissal after the ceremony inside the gym. There will be a QR code to sign your student out. When this is completed, students can get their certificates and leave for the day.
• Please be respectful and considerate of others by sitting in the back or outside isle if you are bringing balloons or anything else that may obstruct a person's view including umbrellas. 
• If you have something for your student to wear during the ceremony, please give it to them before the ceremony begins.  Parent should not stop the procession to hand students items.

Our dress code that we have had all year long applies to promotion as well.  Please also keep in mind that students will be sitting for most of the ceremony.  Students will have to walk up and down a ramps and possibly 3-5 steps to get on and off the stage so that is another thing to keep in mind regarding long dresses and shoes, particularly heels.

 

We know you will be excited to celebrate with your student and family.  We have worked hard to try to make the check out process a fast and easy process.  There will be posters in English and Spanish with a QR code, posted outside as well as inside the gym.  

If you need assistance or if you do not have a phone or cannot fill out the form, you can visit the assistance table and our Office Manager Mrs. Romero will help you.  You can also ask any staff member and they will be able to help you or direct you to someone that can.

Both 7th and 8th grade students will have the opportunity to join their classmates for some exciting field trips and end-of-year activities.  In order for students to participate in the activities/filed trips, students must:

In order for students to collect their promotion certificate, all borrowed materials such as textbooks, athletic uniforms, library books, as well as chromebooks-if the student will not be attending a Twin Rivers school next year.  Certificates can be picked up in the gym after the promotion ceremony as parent's sign students out for early dismissal.
