Eighth Grade Class Night Eighth Grade Class Night

The Eighth Grade Class Night is scheduled for Friday, May 29 from 6pm- 8pm at the Middle School. This is a picnic event that includes food, music, and outdoor games, and dress is casual. Tickets were sold in advance, and no tickets will be sold at the door. Students should have their ticket and student ID.


Northern Burlington is hosting the state group track meet earlier the same afternoon. We anticipate that there will still be a significant amount of cars and buses in our lots as class night begins. To facilitate drop off and pick up for class night, please plan to do the following:

  • Student drop off will take place at 7th grade bus entrance off of the bus parking lot that is accessed via North Island Road. DO NOT COME TO THE MAIN LOT OR MAIN ENTRANCE.

  • Student pick up will be at the same location as drop off, the bus lot accessed via North Island Road

  • Students should not arrive earlier than 6 pm.

  • Students must be picked up promptly at 8 pm

  • During pick up, students will not be allowed into the parking lot without an adult escort. Parents should plan to pull up to the curb or park and walk to the curb to pick up their child. We do not want students crossing a lot filled with moving cars at twilight.


We are looking forward to a fun evening as our 8th graders celebrate their time at the middle school and look forward to their next step as they move to high school.
