  • 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony - Thursday, June 6

              The Promotion Ceremony begins promptly at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 6 in the CMS Courtyard.
              A blue promotion gown will be provided for each student to borrow for use during the ceremony. Gowns will be returned at the end of the evening.
              In order to participate in this activity, students must have passing grades in all of their classes for the third trimester. We encourage our eighth graders to see this event as one for which they "dress for success." Jeans, flip-flops, and hats are not appropriate for this event and are not permitted at the ceremony. Note that it is possible for students not to have the grades for the Six Flags trip but still be able to participate in the other two promotion-related activities.
              Promoting students need to arrive in the gym no later than 5:30 p.m. on the night of promotion, June 6. All students are expected to be dress code appropriate (no gum, hats, strapless, spaghetti straps, halter-top dresses, sagging pants, etc.). In addition, all students must wear the royal blue Promotion Ceremony Gown. This is an important event, and we want to ensure that all students are dressed appropriately.
              There will be no reserved seating at the promotion ceremony. The gates will remain locked on the day of promotion until 5:15 p.m. We ask that all families respect the handicap seating areas and are considerate of others. We have limited seating with the chairs available. We also ask that families do not bring noisemakers (as they can create distractions), balloons (which can obstruct the view), or animals to the ceremony. Thank you for your cooperation.
              We look forward to seeing you at the promotion ceremony. Please call the office at (925) 606-4702 if you have any questions.
