Good Afternoon Parents and Guardians:
I have some important information to share with you this afternoon.

8th Grade Continuation
I have attached the invitation for our eighth grade continuation ceremony which will be held on Thursday, May 23rd at 9:00 am in our gymnasium. Continuation rehearsal for all eighth graders will be on Wednesday morning, May 22nd at 10:00 am. I will send parking and dress code information for continuation next week. Actual invitations will be sent home with eighth grade students during homeroom on Wednesday, May 8th.

Once we are finished with continuation our eighth graders will be free to go home with you the rest of the summer, since we have an early release on Friday the 24th, eighth graders will not be required to attend school on the 24th.

We will not be conducting our annual field trips on the 24th as we have in the past. This is a change in practice for middle schools. Our early release on Friday the 24th for sixth and seventh graders will be at 1:00 pm. We will have an all school lunch and outdoor carnival activities and yearbook signing for the sixth and seventh graders that day. Buses will run their normal routes at 1:00 pm. Next week in my newsletter I will include the schedule for the last week of school.
