We are excited to celebrate our 8th grade students and their accomplishments! This year, we are continuing our Promotion celebration, while also introducing some new traditions inspired by student voice. We worked closely with our students to learn what they hoped to experience during this special evening, and we are thrilled to share the plans with you.
Promotion Walk — May 28, 2026
We will host a Promotion Walk starting at 5pm on May 28, with staggered times based on last name so that we do not need to limit attendance. During this time, families will tour the halls, revisit favorite classrooms, and celebrate memories with staff along the way.
The walk will conclude in the gym, where each student will be presented with their Certificate of Promotion. A photo opportunity will be available for families to capture this important milestone.
8th Grade Dinner Dance @ 7:00 PM on May 28, 2026
After all students have received their certificates, we will begin the 8th Grade Dinner Dance at 7:00 PM. Students shared that they would like the attire to be dressy, though formal wear is not required. The students also requested that T-shirts and pajama pants not be worn for this event.
Dinner Dance Tickets
Admission tickets for the dance are $20 and must be purchased in advance at school. Attendance is limited to Jones 8th grade students only, and students must have no suspensions as of May 1 in order to attend.
We are incredibly proud of our 8th graders and look forward to celebrating this milestone together. Thank you for partnering with us to make this a memorable and meaningful evening for our students and families.
