Dear 8th grade families,
 
We are almost there! What a year this has been. We appreciate all of your patience, support, and grit through this unprecedented school year. And we are excited to celebrate the culmination of your student's middle school years next Friday, June 11th. Here are the details you should know:
 
  • 8th graders should arrive at school no later than 9:15 a.m. Students should be dressed appropriately for a formal occasion of this importance and gravity; no shorts or athletic wear, no hats; pants that are not jeans, shirts with collars, and shoes that are not sneakers.
  • Please note, masks will still be required at this event for all guests in attendance.
  • If you have not already, please respond to this RSVP survey so that we can adequately plan.
  • Families should plan to arrive starting at 9:30 a.m. Please enter the building at the Race Street entrance (between 16th and 17th Streets.) The ceremony will start promptly at 10 a.m.
  • If you are arriving with guests who will need to use the elevator and lift to get to the roof, please plan on arriving with a bit extra time.
  • Photography and videography are welcomed for this ceremony. A live stream will also be available here. We will also take a group photo after the program, and you are welcome to take pictures at that time.
  • The ceremony will end with a Meeting for Worship and a presentation of the students. Afterward, there will be a reception on the roof deck.  8th graders should plan to leave with their families after the reception. We should be done with the ceremony and reception by 11:30 a.m.
 
With warm wishes,
