8TH GRADE FAMILIES!!!!!

Hello Jackson Families,

This is Jory Hardman, the proud principal of Jackson Middle School. First off, CONGRATULATIONS! Your child is at the end of their middle school journey and will be off to high school in the Fall.

On June 2, 2025, we will be celebrating our 8th graders at the promotion ceremony. The ceremony will start promptly at 10:30 am. Doors will open to the event at 9:45 am.

Every 8th-grade student will be given 4 tickets to the ceremony. We kindly ask that you stick to the number so all students have the opportunity to have their family in attendance. I am also going to ask that, while flowers can be brought into the ceremony, any balloons or signs that could interfere with people's view be left in the car until the end of the ceremony.

We will have a spot for families to take pictures after the ceremony. This is a more formal event, so we ask that your child follow that expectation for this ceremony.

8th Grade families will be able to take their students after the event and can begin to have a great summer.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
