8th Grade - Class of 2024

Diploma Order Form

In preparation for Graduation on Thursday, May 16, 2024, the school must order the Diplomas for the graduating members of the Class of 2024. Please click here to complete your student(s) Diploma Order Form. Forms must be completed by Friday, March 1, 2024.

The form also contains an acknowledgment of the Parent Tribute and

Graduation Dress Codes that are also detailed below in this email. Students wear the same outfit to both the Parent Tribute (May 3, 2024) and Graduation (May 16, 2024). Please review the dress codes below with your student(s).

The Parent Tribute is a long standing St. Cecilia Catholic School tradition where the graduates celebrate their parents by paying tribute to them in short speeches in the Auditorium. More information about the end of year and May Graduation events will be communicated soon. You are receiving the Diploma Order and Dress Code now to allow for enough time to order

diplomas, and parents have appropriate time to purchase outfits for these events in May.

Girls Dress Code

Girls may wear a dress no more than 2" above the back of the knee crease that is suitable for Church; white or pastel colors are worn.

Please be modest - strapless, backless, low-cut, off-the-shoulder, or dresses with spaghetti straps are not appropriate.

Boys Dress Code

Boys are required to wear a coat and tie.
Unconstructed suits, wild colors, athletic shoes, or jeans are not appropriate.
Dress shoes and socks are required.

Please Note: Any student who arrives for Graduation in an inappropriate outfit will not participate in the Graduation ceremony or attend the Graduation Dance.

High School Acceptance Notifications

Next Friday, March 8th, the private high schools will send out their acceptance letters via email to applicant families. The schools send out their emails to applicant families at 4:00PM on Friday, March 8th. Please note that this is a full school day for St. Cecilia students, and since this is the beginning of Spring Break, there will be no Bridges on Friday, March 8th. So, all 8th grade students should be picked up at carpool, and be home by 4:00PM to be with their families to receive their notifications.

8th Grade Social Media Highlight Form

As we recently communicated, there is a form for all families to fill out to collect information on each student for the social media highlight posts in late April and May. The form will ask what high school each student will attend, their favorite St. Cecilia memory, and to scan and upload your child’s baby picture.

Please note that when choosing baby pictures, your child needs to be fully clothed in their baby picture. Also, please remember that these posts are on public social media pages. Please complete this online form once your child decides which school they will attend after next Friday, March 8th.
The form is due no later than March 27, 2024.

Additional Weekly Spirit Day

Starting Thursday, March 21, 2024 - and occurring each week on Thursdays for the remainder of the school year through Thursday, May 9th, 8th Grade students (and only 8th grade students) will get an extra spirit wear dress day. They will have the opportunity to wear the following options:

A t-shirt and/or sweatshirt from their chosen high school with either jeans or uniform bottoms,
Their "St. Cecilia Class of 2024" t-shirt given out in January
Or any other St. Cecilia spirit shirt with either jeans or uniform bottoms.

Our mission at St Cecilia Catholic School is the ongoing Catholic formation and education of the whole child in mind, heart, and spirit, in preparation for an adult life of commitment and service.
