Fifth Grade Promotion

Paragraph picture
SMCPS has released the Graduation Plan for honoring our SMCPS high school graduates. We all want to be sure that the students who are finishing their careers as high school graduates receive the recognition they deserve.


We also want to be able to honor our own 5th graders who will be moving on to sixth grade! Our plans include creating a promotion ceremony in video that will be shared (through a Smore Newsletter) with our 5th-grade students and their families on Thursday, June 18 at 9:30 am. If you have a 5th grader, visit Mrs. Kile and Mr. Rushworth's newsletters for directions and deadlines for submitting photos and the opportunity to submit a video clip.
