This week, Mr. Brennan will send out a letter to parents giving full details about the end of the year and eighth grade promotion. For now, here are some key facts to keep in mind:
1. In order to participate in the promotion ceremony, a student must pass all four of his/her core subject areas.
2. The ceremony will take place on May 28, 7:00 PM. Students must arrive at 6:30 PM.
3. Students will rehearse the ceremony on May 28 in the afternoon.
4. In the week prior to the promotion, Mr. Brennan will meet with all eighth grade homerooms to review the dress code, schedule of events, etc. Generally speaking, the dress code calls for “Sunday best” attire. Shirts, slacks, ties, dress shoes for the boys, and dresses or skirt outfits for the girsl
5. After promotion, all FHMS eighth graders are invited to a dance hosted by parent volunteers, from 8-10 PM. This dance is open to ANY FHMS eighth grader (promoting or not). There are no guests allowed–only currently enrolled FHMS eighth graders are allowed to attend–no exceptions.
6. FHUSD superintendent, Dr. Bill Myhr has confirmed with Mr. Brennan that eighth graders are excused from school on May 29!
Have a great May!
