Dear 6th Grade Families,

We are excited to celebrate our 6th grade students during Promotion is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 8:15 AM.

The ceremony will be held at our outside stage area. We choose to hold Promotion outside so we can accommodate more family members and guests. If the ceremony were held indoors, we would need to limit attendance.

Important Information for the Ceremony:

• Families will be allowed onto campus beginning around 8:00 AM. 

• The ceremony will begin promptly at 8:15 AM.

• There will be approximately 200 chairs available, along with plenty of standing room.

• Please arrive early to allow enough time to find appropriate and legal parking and line up at the entrance gate behind the front office. (Signs will be posted)

Please remember that this is also arrival time for all students on campus. We ask that everyone be respectful and mindful of the many cars, students, and families arriving safely for the school day.

To help make the ceremony enjoyable for everyone:

• Please do NOT bring horns or noise-making devices, as we have students and families who may have sensitivities.

• Balloons are welcome; however, they must be checked into our balloon check-in room so they do not block the view of other families.

• No animals are allowed on campus without prior approval/clearance from Principal McCain.

PTA will also be selling items before the ceremony, including coffee, water, cookies, cake pops, and graduation-themed items.

After the ceremony, teachers will take students back to their classrooms to collect their belongings and then return them to the outside stage area for pictures with families.

We understand many families may wish to celebrate with lunch or other activities afterward. If you plan to check your student out early, there will be a checkout table outside, so look for the sign with the teacher's name. Families are encouraged to sign students out while they are with their teachers gathering classroom belongings. Today, students took home their Chromebooks and report cards to help expedite the check out process. 

If you are checking out siblings, please wait in the same outside checkout line to sign them out at the same time as your 6th grader. Due to the size and activity of this event, all staff members will be focused on ensuring the safety of students and guests on campus. Staff may not be able to pull other students out of class in a timely manner, so we appreciate your patience and planning ahead.

We look forward to celebrating this special milestone with all of our 6th grade students and families!

As we move closer to the end of the school year, we are excited about the many activities planned to celebrate our 6th grade students and this important milestone. These events are meant to recognize their hard work and create lasting memories as they prepare for junior high.

Below are the upcoming 6th grade events:

• Ongoing: Accepting Donations for 6th Grade Activities
• May 21: Optional Knott’s Berry Farm Trip (Additional cost – after school hours)

If you need any assistance, have questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher, Mrs. Sedillo, or Mrs. McCain.

Have a wonderful evening!
