Guidelines for Eighth Grade Celebration
We would like to inform our Adams JH parents and students that we have decided to suspend the 8th-grade T-shirt sales as well as the 8th-grade celebration ticket sales until further notice. During this time of uncertainty for everyone it is best that we all focus on taking care of ourselves, our loves ones, and our community. If you have any questions please email us at 8thgradedance@adamsjhptsa.org.
Thank you,
The 8th Grade Celebration Committee

Important Announcement
PERMISSION SLIP/PAYMENT FORMS AND FEES: Only students currently enrolled in 8th grade at Adams Junior High at the time of the celebration will be allowed to purchase a ticket and attend the celebration. Each student must purchase his or her own ticket, and each student is allowed to purchase one ticket. Tickets are being sold online on the PTSA website here.
In order to purchase a ticket, the student and one of his/her parents or guardians MUST read and acknowledge that they have read, understood and agree to follow the guidelines. Permission slip and fee are due at the same time.
The last day to purchase tickets is April 8th, 2020. There will be no refunds.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP: It is critical that each parent make firm transportation arrangements with their child before leaving him/her at the celebration. We encourage students to attend in groups or as individuals, rather than as dates. Students will need to bring their school ID to check-in with them when entering the celebration.
DROP OFF: Cars will drop off students at the front carpool entrance to the school starting at 6:00 PM.
PICK-UP: The celebration will end promptly at 9:00 p.m. Please start arriving to pick up students at around 8:50. Students will be dismissed in an orderly fashion. Please be on time to pick up your child. Students will not be permitted to walk or ride a bike home, even if this is the way the student arrives and leaves school during the day. LIMOUSINES, PARTY BUSES AND OTHER STRETCHED VEHICLES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE SCHOOL GROUNDS, DRESS CODE COMPLIANCE WILL BE CHECKED IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING THE CELEBRATION.
SECURITY: The celebration will be a lock-in for security purposes. A security officer and campus administrators will be on duty. During party hours, your student may leave only in the company of his/her parent or another parent that is designated in advance. A signed note must be on file with our check-in committee. The parent or designated adult MUST come into the school to pick up the student and MUST show his/her ID in order for the student to be released to them. Remember - students who leave early will NOT be allowed to return to the celebration.
PERSONAL PROPERTY: We suggest that students do not bring valuables or money to the celebration. If they do, the student will be responsible for taking care of personal items.
