Dear 8th Grade Parents/Guardians:

This letter is being sent home today as a reminder of the closing school activities for your eighth grade child.

The promotion dance will be held on THURSDAY, June 18, 2015, between the hours of 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. in the Lazar cafeteria and gymnasium. Food will be served. Attendance at this dance is strictly voluntary. Only Lazar students who are being promoted may attend the dance.

Students are expected to wear appropriate dress at all functions. For the 8th grade dance girls are permitted to wear tasteful halter dresses, spaghetti straps, 1 shoulder, and/or sleeveless dresses. Strapless dresses, bare midriff, etc., are not permitted. Also, please be aware of appropriate skirt length. Boys are expected to wear nice pants, shirt and tie, and are encouraged to wear suits or sport jackets. Students should not wear sneakers or jeans. No limos will be allowed on the premises.

For the promotion exercises, the usual dress code will be followed – NO spaghetti straps, halters, tank tops, jeans, or sneakers, etc. Skirts must be fingertip length. Boys should be dressed in nice pants, shirt and tie, no jeans or sneakers, and are encouraged to wear suits or sport jackets.

Rehearsals for the promotion ceremony will take place on various days during the week of June 15.

No additional tickets will be issued; however, the program will be simulcast in the MTHS auditorium and auxiliary gym.

In keeping with New Jersey State regulations regarding the length of the school year, all students, including eighth grade students, are expected to attend school on Tuesday, June 23. Attendance will be taken on the Tuesday half-day (1:10 dismissal time). The students will receive their promotion certificate and constitution on Tuesday.
