8th Grade Reminders

Reminders for Eighth Graders

There will be an opportunity for an 8^th grade dance on Friday, June 4^th. Only 8^th graders will be allowed. The dance will be in Gym C from 3:00-4:30. Admission is $2.00 and only open to 8^th graders. Since this is a school function, dancing must be appropriate for school.

Farewell Assembly

The assembly will be held the last day of school. The Farewell Assembly will begin at 9:30 am and dismiss at approximately 11:00. The assembly will be held in Gyms A & B. Given the weather, it will probably be very warm in the Gyms. The gyms will not be open until 9:15. Students must leave immediately following the assembly.

This is NOT A GRADUATION – it is an farewell assembly. Each 8^th grade student will be have his/her name called.

Guidelines for Student Dress at the Farewell Assembly:

1. Dress shirts with ties and dress pants (or khakis) are appropriate for young men. Jackets may be worn if families so choose.
2. Girls should select dresses that my be worn many times and for varied, non-formal occasions. No strapless or Off the Shoulder dresses will be permitted. If you could not wear the dress to school because it violated the dress code, DO NOT wear it to the assembly. There is no need to spend excessive amount of money on a fancy dress for this occasion.
3. Blue jeans or shorts are not appropriate and may not be worn.
4. If you are not sure if what you want to wear is appropriate, either see Mr. Patterson or wear another outfit.

Additional Reminders:

1. • NO LIMOUSINES will be permitted at Woodworth during the school year. This includes the 8^th grade dance, Farewell Assemblies, and the last day of school.
   • Cameras are allowed on the last day of school and at the Honor’s Assembly only.
   • The last three days of school are “Bag Free” days. No backpacks, bags, or purses are allowed. Locker cleanout will be on Tuesday, June 8^th. Students will not use lockers on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
   • The Cedar Point trip is on Thursday, June 10^th.
   • Students are responsible to follow the Student Code of Conduct.
   • The PTA and Mr. Patterson will provide some bagels and juice on June 11^th for the eighth graders.

Completing 8^th grade is a significant but small accomplishment toward the many successes that await you. Expensive dresses and limousines may come with Proms and graduating High School and College.
