Graduation Day at School
We will be holding a customary Eighth Grade Clap Out Parade following their in-class celebration on Wednesday, May 29th at 1:30 PM. The Clap Out Parade route will end by the fence, close to the back parking lot (field area) by Middle School Modular.
If parents would like to come clap the students out, please meet us at the ending spot (kiss and cry area).
- If 8th grade students wish to go home after the clap out, you may sign them out with one of the 8th grade teachers located at the modular ramp area.
- If you are signing out siblings, you must sign them out in the front office prior to, or after the clap out. The clap out will begin at 1:30 PM, and should make it to the final parent spot by 1:45-ish (depending on how fast/slow the students walk).
- Per policy, students may not be signed out after 2:30 PM.
Dress Code for Graduation Day at School
Eighth Grade Graduates are allowed to wear their future high school shirts if they so choose, or a LP shirt (spirit or uniform). Bottoms may be jeans or uniform bottoms.
