The Gator Gazette

8th grade promotion is a momentous occasion signifying the successful completion of middle school and the exciting transition to high school. It's a time to celebrate achievements, acknowledge growth, and look forward to new challenges and experiences. As we plan and look forward to this special evening, this year has brought challenges that we have tried our very hardest to plan around. So, as you have seen in The Gator Gazette, we will be hosting our 8th grade Promotion night in the UTHS Auditorium. We know and understand that this may cause families to plan differently. With that in mind, we will host a Live Stream Feed so all family and friends can share in this special time. We thank you for your understanding, as the situation is out of our control, and short of canceling this special night - we agreed that this was the best option.

Again, we THANK YOU for your understanding and commitment to celebrating this amazing Glenview Class of 2024.

If your student is attending any of the programming hosted by EMSD over the summer, each program will have a set of devices that students will use during that program. If your student will not be in the district next year, please have your student let the technician know during the check-in process. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact us at 309-865-6946.
