8th Grade Parents, Guardians, and Students,
The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here! We are so excited to celebrate the Class of 2030 and all they have accomplished during their time at W. D. Gattis Middle School.
Ceremony Details
Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026
Start Time: The ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 AM.
All guests should enter through the Gym Doors.
Doors will open at 9:30 AM. We encourage you to arrive early so we can begin the celebration on time.
Parking & Safety
To ensure the safety of our students and staff, please keep the following in mind:
We have two parking lots available for our guests. In the past, this filled up fast, so we highly suggest carpooling with your family as much as possible.
Please do not park in the fire lane. This area must remain clear for emergency vehicles at all times during school hours.
Student Sign-Out Procedures
If you plan to take your child home immediately following the ceremony, please remember that normal sign-out protocols are required. All parents/guardians must sign their student out through the front office before leaving campus.
We look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with you tomorrow morning!
Go Cubs..Future Wildcats!
