<p align="center">TRACK 2 Awards Ceremony is June 25</p>
<p align="center">TRACK 3 Awards Ceremony is June 26</p>
<p align="center">TRACK 4 Awards Ceremony is June 27</p>
<ul>
<li>Each program will begin at 9:30 a.m.</li>
<li>Parents of students being recognized for <b>honors or high honors</b> should have already received invitations in the mail.</li>
<li>All 8<sup>th</sup> graders will be recognized for their completion of middle school and should have already been given their invitations and tickets in homeroom.</li>
<li><b>Space will be limited</b>-each 8<sup>th</sup> grader, each honors/high honors student, and any other student receiving an award will be given tickets for two guests each.</li>
<li>As a courtesy, teachers will notify parents of any other awards that students may be receiving.  This is so parents can be in attendance and “camera ready” to see their child receive his/her award.  These individual awards should be a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">surprise to the students</span>.</li>
<li>Honors, high honors, and ALL 8<sup>th</sup> graders are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">required</span> to dress up following the guidelines below, however; teachers will also be encouraging ALL students to dress nicer for their programs as this is a special event, we will have many visitors on campus and some students other than honors/high honors may be recognized for awards or other accomplishments.</li>
<li>Contact Tracey Latham with any questions:  <a href="mailto:tlatham@wcpss.net">tlatham@wcpss.net</a> or 518-0280</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><b>Dress Code for ALL students being recognized as Honors, High Honors, and ALL 8<sup>th</sup> grade Students:</b></p>
<p>Appropriate dress is <b>required</b> for the upcoming awards programs.  Please keep in mind the following when planning your attire.  We will go over this in detail during the awards rehearsals with students.</p>
<p><b>APPROPRIATE FOR GIRLS:</b>  dress, skirt, blouse/sweater, dress pants, sandals, dress shoes</p>
<p><b>NO-NO’S:</b>  rainbow flip flops, plastic/rubber flip flops, or any other type of casual footwear, tennis shoes, jeans, shorts, any type of denim</p>
<p>*School rules also still apply as far as an appropriate length for skirts/dresses and strap width.  Shoulders and backs cannot be exposed.  Please wear a sweater or shawl if needed.</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p><b>APPROPRIATE FOR BOYS:</b>   dress pants, shirts must have a collar, ties and suits are fine but not required <b>(Ties ARE required for 8<sup>th</sup> graders)</b>, belts with pants at the waist, dockers/sperrys/any type of loafer, dress shoes (black, brown)</p>
<p><b>NO-NO’S:</b>  flip flops, sandals, or any other type of casual footwear, tennis shoes, jeans, shorts, any type of denim, no “sagging”, no t-shirts</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
