For Parents of Our 8th Graders
Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s) of Grade 8 Students:
You are invited to join us in the Chevron Theater on Thursday, June 8th at 8:00 AM to commemorate your child’s move from middle school to high school, with our Grade 8 Moving OnCeremony.
This transition is a significant step in their lives, and we hope to celebrate this moment together with you through a student-led ceremony, lasting approximately one hour and thirty minutes. Immediately following the ceremony will be a reception in the MPB until approximately 10:30 AM. This is an important day for your child and your family. We hope all family plan to attend both the ceremony and the .
Since this is a special celebration, we ask that students dress appropriately to suit the occasion.
- Boys should wear dress pants, a dress shirt, a tie, and dress shoes. Suits and/or jackets are not necessary.
- Girls should wear a dress, or shirt/blouse with a skirt/nice pants, and nice shoes. Please ensure that the heels that are not too high, as students need to climb up and down the stairs to the stage.
- To be respectful of our multi-cultural environment and the nature of the event, shoulders should be covered and clothing should be of modest length. Jeans, shorts, sleeveless shirts,, tuxedos, or formal dresses are not appropriate (either too casual or too formal).
After the reception the students will continue their celebration with a lunch with their classmates in our cafeteria, followed by time to celebrate their time together in Middle School. They will need a change of clothes for after the reception so that they can be comfortable as they spend the remainder of the day together. They do not have to wear school uniform.
Please put this important date on your calendar. All family members are invited to attend the ceremony and reception for the students.
We will also be live streaming the event, so please be on the lookout for the web address to send to family members who cannot attend the event in person.
If you have any questions, please contact us at the school. We look forward to celebrating your child with you on this special day.
