GRADUATION  EXERCISES

(Eighth Grade Promotion Exercises)

Promotion exercises will be held for students who have met state and local requirements for graduation from eighth grade.

Participation in eighth-grade promotion exercises is encouraged but is not compulsory.  However, since these exercises require planning and rehearsals, the following rules shall apply:

A.  Students who wish to participate must be present at the rehearsals.  Failure to do so, except for legitimate reasons for absence, may be cause for excluding students from participating in the exercises.

B.  Students may not participate in the promotion exercises unless they have successfully completed the requirements for promotion.

C.  Awards to eighth graders will be printed on the program and announced at the exercises only in cases where the recipients have been selected solely by the school.

D.  Other awards to eighth graders selected by persons or organizations outside the school may be presented at the final awards assembly if approved by the principal.

E.  A student who is a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe or who is eligible to be enrolled as a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe may wear traditional tribal regalia or objects of cultural significance at a graduation ceremony.

F.  For the purposes of this section, "objects of cultural significance" and "traditional tribal regalia" include an eagle feather or eagle plume.
