8th Grade Class of 2021!
Fourth Quarter, for 8th graders, is a very exciting time and to have to revise those milestones is so difficult! We have been eagerly trying to make revisions to the activities we have planned to celebrate the impending end to the school year, and we hope that each 8th grader will take part. CONGRATULATIONS to the 8th Grade Class of 2021!

✤ If your student does not plan to attend the Drive-Thru Advancement, they will still need to attend an Advisory session specifically for 8th Graders (not with their regular Advisory teacher). The link will be available in GC later.
