Promotion CeremonyTuesday, May 21st, 2024
Eighth grade students participating in promotion should arrive no later than 8:00 a.m. at the middle school entrance and report to the cafeteria to line up alphabetically. Parents may park in the high school parking lot and proceed to the high school gym. Students arriving by bus should report to the cafeteria by 7:45 am. Promotion activities and awards will begin at 9:00 am at the SMMHS high school gymnasium. After the ceremony, students may be signed out from tables outside the high school gym.This area will have three tables with multiple sign-out sheets. One parent or guardian will sign out their student manually. Once the student is signed out, that student will be allowed to leave campus with said parent. In the case that a student is not dismissed by parent or guardian, they will return to Mrs. Hardison’s classroom for attendance and then follow the class schedule.
