Graduation Pictures & Ceremony
SAVE THE DATE - May 20, 2022
Eighth Grade Students & Parents,
It is hard to believe that 8th grade students will be graduating from Southgate Public School next month on Friday, May 20th!
This letter provides information on 8th grade graduation pictures and the graduation ceremony.
GRADUATION PICTURES
8th grade students will continue the Southgate tradition of taking a group picture and individual pictures at the gazebo located in the Evergreen Cemetery. All students will need to meet at the gazebo no later than 1:30 PM on Friday, May 20th.
Parents/Guardians are permitted to sign out and pick up their 8th grade student early on May 20th to prepare for graduation pictures. If you sign your student out early, then you will need to be sure to have your student arrive at the gazebo in Evergreen Cemetery by 1:30 PM for the group picture. Individual pictures will follow the group picture. If you are not checking out your student early, then a staff member will drive your student to the gazebo for the pictures (which we need your permission to do by signing below).
GRADUATION CEREMONY
We are excited to continue the tradition of Southgate graduates walking across the stage of the auditorium to receive their 8th grade diploma. Graduation will start promptly at 6:00 PM. Please arrive by 5:45 PM so your 8th grade graduate has ample time to prepare for the ceremony.
Students will be fitted for graduation gowns and have a rehearsal prior to May 20th.
We look forward to seeing you on May 20th,
Julie Rubemeyer
Principal, Southgate Public School
