8th Grade Promotion & Recognition Ceremony

**UPDATES**

• We encourage families to consider the number of guests who will be in attendance due to limited seating.

• Please save balloons, flowers, and other celebration trinkets for after the ceremony. We want to make sure we are not blocking other guests views, breaking fire-codes, and aware of allergens flowers may cause. Please no noise makers.

• The celebration luncheon will be on the front lawn immediately following the ceremony. This is for 8th grade OHMS students only.

• Many guests and families stay after to take pictures and visit with other Mustangs. We welcome your attendance at our social time.

• Some Mustang Students bring a change of clothes for the day. One set to dress nicely to walk across the stage and the second to play at Mustang Day afterwards. The Girls and Boys locker rooms will be available for students to lock their items up in advance. All clothing (ceremony and school day) will still need to be in AISD Dress Code.

• Students will be able to use their cell phone during the school day to take pictures.

• Safety and Security: What if I need to pick up my Mustang early?

  • Should you wish to take your Mustang to other family events and request an early check out, we ask that you officially sign out at the front office.
  • If your Mustang will be going with a different family than your own, an email with your ID will need to be sent to OHenry047@austinisid.org with the name of your student and the name of the parent who will be checking out. Please send this request no later than 8:00 a.m. on May 29th to ensure the front office staff is equipped to support early check out.
  • No "going home with a friend" check outs will be accepted without an email and a photo ID. No exceptions.
  • There will be no early check outs after 3:00 on May 29th.

Thank you for making our celebration and recognition a safe and successful event.
