8th Grade Families:
Please remember, 8th grade Promotion is TONIGHT in the SCHS gymnasium, from 7-8pm. Heritage Elementary is graduating before us so PLEASE, do NOT arrive earlier than 6:30pm. There is VERY limited parking and arriving early creates chaos and won't allow Heritage to exit in a timely manner. Thank you for your help with this matter. We look forward to celebrating your students tonight!!!
