Hello all,
Well, here we are. Our last week of school. Make sure to make your plans and get your friends numbers so you can stay in touch.
Next year will be different. How different will depend on you.
For now, enjoy your summer, help your parents and family, and find some peace in your mind if you can so you can be ready for what comes NEXT:)
It has been a pleasure working with you this year. I wish you all a peaceful summer.
See you next year,
Mr. Garcia
We ask that all students, families, and guests observe these guidelines for the Rio Vista 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony:
Tickets
Bring your tickets with you. To speed up the line, have each member of your party hold their own ticket
No one will be allowed into the ceremony without a ticket
Children aged 2 and under who can sit on a parent’s lap do not require a ticket
Minors will not be allowed to enter without an adult
Additional tickets are not available
Guest Seating
Ticket holders may only sit in the designated seating area for the ceremony.
No sitting to the left or right of the student section
No sitting to the left or right of the stage
The school will have a seat for every ticket distributed to ensure that every ticketed individual has a place to sit
Parking
Parking is limited, so you may consider carpooling or walking
Student Reporting
8th-grade students will report to the gym NO LATER than 3:15 p.m.
Students will enter through the North side of the gym.
Entrance Gate
The entrance gate will open at 3:30 p.m. and temporarily close at 3:55 p.m., allowing students to proceed to their seats. The gate will reopen once students are seated.
Prohibited Activities/Items
Prohibited activities on campus: smoking/vaping of any kind, blowing air horns or using other noise makers, setting up umbrellas, having or releasing balloons, and displaying signs that block others’ view of the ceremony
There is a “balloon parking lot” in the gym to house balloons until after the ceremony
No graduation leis/necklaces/money may be worn during the ceremony (please save these to give to your child until after the ceremony)
Post Ceremony
At the end of the ceremony, students will proceed to the gym to receive their certificates and then be released to the quad to meet their families.
Families are to remain seated until ALL students have left the ceremony.
Families will then be released to the quad to meet their student.
You are welcome to gather in the quad with friends and take photos.
Certificates
Promotion certificates will be distributed to students in the gym immediately following the ceremony.
If a student does not receive a certificate after the ceremony, it may be due to outstanding payments for library items. Fines must be settled BEFORE receiving the certificates. If students do not obtain their certificates at the ceremony, parents may pick them up from the front office between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. through the end of June.
Student Promotion Dress Code
To provide the best promotion experience for everyone, we ask that all students adhere to the following:
Students are not allowed to have cell phones during the ceremony.
Promotion gowns must be worn zipped up for the duration of the ceremony.
Head coverings are not permitted except for religious reasons.
Students are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes, as they will be walking from the gym to their seats on the field, up and down a ramp at the stage, and back to the gym after the ceremony.
Leis will not be allowed to be worn during the promotion ceremony.
Students are not allowed to carry flowers, balloons, or other items during the ceremony.
Regular school dress code rules apply to the promotion ceremony.
Thank you,
Rio Vista Staff and Administration
