[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure what you expected.  The 8th graders were celebrated.  Glasgow had an 8th grade dance and an awards ceremony.  The dance was open to all 8th grade students and parents had the opportunity to be involved.  Parents were only invited to the awards ceremony if the students received an award.

No 8th grade class that I’m aware of in FCPS has a graduation ceremony.

And to the folks disparaging Glasgow that it’s too rough to celebrate their students, do a Google search.  They weren’t forsaken.  Your poor students are too rough to deserve nice things perspective is really not nice.  [/quote]

My eight grader in fcps had a promotion ceremony- the broke it up over two days (four sessions total).  Now I really appreciate our admins given that other schools did not.  I can tell it required a lot of work and coordination.[/quote]

Was this Kilmer? I went to it and commented to family after that it should have just been an awards ceremony for those receiving awards.  No, my kid did not receive an award.  It was a lot of coordination for the admin but it’s not a graduation and this is only two years.  It was awkward to have it during the day when the rest of the school is in session. They have mixed team classes so it’s not like everyone was at it at the same time.   I got the impression it was a quick ceremony to make the parents happy that really wanted something.  It was very quick.  My kid’s was at 8am. [/quote]
