Attention All Eighth Grade Parents

Eighth grade promotion night will be Thursday, May 29th, 7:00 p.m. at Sandwich High School. All students that do not have to attend summer school to complete promotion requirements are invited to attend. Students should arrive at the SHS cafeteria by 6:15 p.m. on that evening. We will practice that afternoon and students must attend the practice to participate in the ceremony. The dignity of the occasion can best be observed by refraining from whistling or applauding for each student. Please hold your applause until the entire class has been awarded their certificates of promotion. Also, please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. Dress attire is casual (no blue jeans, t-shirts, shorts, etc.). Should you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
B.J. Richardson, Principal
