I, _____________________, understand the importance of making good choices and keeping up on my ABI/grades every day that school is in session. I know that Mr. P addressed all the 8th grade students prior to promotion activities, and made it very clear that we need to be proactive and make sure to bring all F grades to at-least D- before June 2, 2014. Failure to do so can result in jeopardizing the entire 8th grade end-of-the-year activities. By signing this form I am aware that if I receive more than one F, I will not be allowed to participate in any of the end of the year activities. This form is for all students and parents to sign and review.1. Promotion Ceremony @ MMHS Monday June 9th, 20142. Roller Rink from 1:00-4:00 Tuesday June 10th, 20143.
