8th Grade Promotion Activities

Great America Trip & Transportation

The Great America trip and bus transportation payments will go live on Aeries Financial Monday, April 14th and parents will be able to purchase the items then. Check the image above on how to purchase on Aeries.

Please note that payments for this trip are non-refundable, as tickets and transportation must be secured in advance.

Promotion Ceremony Attire

For this year’s promotion ceremony, students will be wearing stoles instead of gowns. Families do not need to purchase the stoles—they will be provided and loaned by the school for students to wear during the ceremony.

We are excited to celebrate our 8th grade students and will continue to keep you informed as these special events approach.
