8th Grade Crossover Ceremony Academic Requirements
As we are nearing the halfway point of the year, it is important that 8th grade students understand the requirements to participate in the Crossover Ceremony and 8th grade Celebration at the end of the school year. 8th graders must pass, at minimum, 3 of 4 core classes (English, Math, Social Studies, Science) for both Trimester 2 and Trimester 3 to be eligible to participate in both of the end of the year activities. Please talk with your 8th grader about these requirements, and stay tuned for more information about Crossover and deadlines for Trimester 3 grades.
