PROMOTION TIPS

Following is a list of tips that we hope will help you ensure that your students take care of things that need to be done to ensure a happy last week of school.

· If your student has any outstanding debts at school they need to be paid or their certificates will be withheld until they are paid.  Debts include textbooks, library books, any other charges for lost or damaged school property and outstanding debts to other schools.  A list of those who still have debts will be read at promotion practice on Thursday, May 24.   Students on this list must resolve their debt by 11:30 that day to receive their certificates on Friday.

· Appropriate dress is very important for the promotion ceremony.  Formal dress is not allowed.  Gentlemen are asked to wear nice pants and a collared shirt.  It is certainly OK to wear a tie.  Ladies dress in sundresses or something that is of a similar level of formality.  High-heeled shoes are not allowed because of safety on the grass and the ramp.

· Students need to report for line-up for the ceremony, Friday, May 25th by 8:00 a.m.  The processional will start at 8:30 a.m.

· Students must not carry anything in their hands during the ceremony.

· Parents may not enter the student seating area until after the ceremony.

· Students must not leave their seat until the ceremony is over.

· Promotion takes place on the basketball courts.  Chairs for the students will be provided but please bring lawn chairs for your family and guests. 

· Please remind your student that school is still in session.  Make sure they continue to study and help us control what we call "eighth-gradeitis."

 Thank you for your help.  Hopefully this will be a great time for all who are involved!
