Students will be leaving campus around 1:30 p.m. and will return around 2 a.m. A grade check is being done one week prior and students in danger of failure may not be able to attend. Very few tickets may still be available so if you want your child to attend, please email Mrs. Mira at amira@pasco.k12.fl.us Universal requires students to follow their dress code for this special event. Students out of dress code will not be able to board the bus to attend the field trip. Attached is the Gradventure dress code.

8th grade Promotion Ceremony
9:00-10:15am: Panthers, Cheetahs, and Siberian Tigers
11:15-12:30pm: Bengals and Leopards
Though we will not issue admittance tickets, we are asking for a limit of four guests per 8th grade student so that all families have the opportunity to watch their loved one be promoted. Once we reach capacity at the Performing Arts Center, no additional guests will be able to enter.
Following the promotion ceremony, 8th graders may be checked out to go home or stay at school for the remainder of the day at the parents' discretion.
