  Dear Eighth Grade Families:

   

  The Eighth Grade Moving Up Ceremony will be held at Clover Stadium (formerly known as Boulder Stadium) on Tuesday, June 24th, at 11:00 am.  On the morning of June 24, we will be holding our dress rehearsal and all eighth graders must be present for the entire half-day, which runs from 7:39-10:30am.  The schedule for the day is as follows:

   

  Tuesday, June 24, 2025

   

  School will not be in session the morning of June 24th for our grade 8 students ONLY.  **This is a change from the original plan

  10:30 am                Students report directly to Clover Stadium (see map for drop off location)

  11:00 am                Moving Up ceremony

  This is a large venue, so seating is not limited.  In addition, there will be a livestream of the event to allow family members to watch the event off-site.  For your convenience, directions to the venue, a venue map, and viewing link will be posted to our school website. 

  There is no color theme regarding clothing, but we request students dress appropriately for the ceremony.  Students will not be carrying any type of bag onto the field for the ceremony, but should bring a water bottle  They will be walking on grass and climbing stairs to get their Moving Up certificates, so it is best to wear flat shoes since any type of heel will sink into the grass. 

  Families are not permitted on to the field during or after the ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, students will proceed off the field, moving up onto the first floor of the stadium using the stairs closest to first base.  The first floor of the stadium is where families and students will reunite.  Fan misters will be available on the main concourse, by 1st and 3rd bases.

  Thank you all for your cooperation. We are looking forward to a wonderful celebration! If  you have any additional questions, please call our guidance office at 627-4050.

  Sincerely,

  Michelle O’Sullivan

• Incoming 5th Grade Parent Orientation Meeting

  On May 7th, we had the pleasure of hosting our "Incoming Grade 5 Parent Orientation" which gave parents a glimpse of life at Barr so they would know what to expect when their child entered 5th grade. We look forward to welcoming the grade 4 students for their special orientation next week.  Before we know it, September will be here and we will be opening our doors to our newest members of the Knights family!
