8th Grade Families

Hello 8th Grade Families,
We want to let you know what is coming as your child's time at AMS comes to a close.

Wednesday, June 14th (8am-2:10pm)
We will be practicing for promotion that day and anticipate releasing students at 2:10pm. However, if we are not done by 2:10pm, we may need to keep the students a little longer and ask that all students stay so that they are properly prepared for the promotion ceremony.

Thursday, June 15th
We will be having our Awards Ceremony from 10:15-11:30am and then will release the 8th graders after that so that they can have time to get ready for Promotion. If you do not want your child to be released at 11:30am, please let us know ahead of time.

5:00-6:30pm - Promotion Ceremony in the Albany High School gym.
8th Graders should arrive at 4:15pm behind the gym where they lined up for promotion practice.
Please remember that we do ask students to follow the dress code during the promotion ceremony and the promotion dance. It can be found in our student handbook in your child’s planner and on our webpage.

8-10pm Promotion Dance

Friday, June 16th
Six Flags- Students should arrive at school at 8:30am and will return at about 3:30pm.
They should report to the lunch shelter.

Finally, I would like to mention that if your family has extra promotion tickets, we ask that they be turned in to the school office as soon as possible so that we can give tickets to other families that have requested them. Thank you for your help with this.
It is hard to believe that the school year is coming to a close and that these 8th graders are preparing to end their middle school careers and begin the next stage of their lives at Albany High School!
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Deborah Brill, Principal
