INFORMATION FOR 8TH GRADE PARENTS
TONIGHT from 6:30-9:00 pm will be our 8th grade PROMOTION DANCE. $5 pre-sale and $7 at the door. Snacks, dancing, and basketball. Please leave ALL backpacks and bags at home. All items will be collected at the door if brought. Please remember dress code is enforced. Students will be asked to cover up or change if necessary. Please arrive no later than 9:00 to pick up your child from the dance. The chaperones appreciate that!
MONDAY Our 8th graders will have a Fun Day. Reminders: Students may come to school dressed for outdoor activities. There will be some water fun but students cannot wear only swimsuits, they must have a cover-up. ALL students must wear a shirt (rash guard, t-shirt) during the Fun Day. Please remember sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, flip-flops. Lunch is included in the price of the ticket, which is $9.
TUESDAY Promotion practice (and various other rotations/collections). Please make sure your child brings his or her Chrome Book and charger.
WEDNESDAY May 21st Promotion Ceremonies. 8th grade students should bring nothing with them to school that day. All family and friends are welcome. No tickets required. Ceremonies are about 45 minutes. There is handicapped parking near our gym. You will also have the ability to sign your child out for the day after promotion. There will be a table by the gym.
9:30 a.m. Wildcat****11:00 a.m. Chili Pepper****12:30 p.m. Scorpion****2:00 p.m. Thunder
Students with a ceremony later in the day are encouraged to bring their promotion clothes with them to school. We will allow students the opportunity to change. Please be mindful of our dress code when preparing for the promotion ceremony. Attire for the promotion ceremony must meet the same guidelines for regular school dress as established by the Marana Middle School Dress Code. It is recommended that students dress up for this event but not formal attire.
Beach balls, silly string, tortillas, air horns, screaming, etc., serve only to disrupt the ceremony and detract from the dignity of the event. Every student deserves a dignified moment of recognition. Students who received their certificates should respect the right of others to do the same.
Please do not arrive more than ½ hour prior to your child's ceremony. We need to allow time for the previous group to leave the parking lot and the gym before we welcome the next group of parents.
After each promotion ceremony, students are encouraged to spend the rest of the day celebrating this educational milestone with their families. Parents will be required to sign their students out at the promotion exit.
THURSDAY Last Day for all students. Dismissal 12:45. Lunch will be served.
GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR FALCONS! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
