Information on the 8th Grade Dance
Attention 8th Grade Parents & Students:
Good Morning! I just wanted to clarify an apparent misunderstanding with regard to the 8th grade awards and the number of guests each student is requested to invite.
While we would love to be in a position to offer unlimited seating to all students, we are space-limited.
In the original update regarding 8th grade awards, we asked that students have no more than 4 guests each. Also in that update, we asked that you call to check on extra seats. On the RSVP form that was printed up the same day and sent home later, we said that we want to accommodate as many guests as possible.
While all three of those statements are still true and correct, they do not alter any of the other statements. Please understand, if you put down that you will be bringing more than 4 guests on the RSVP form, we still may not be able to accommodate the number of guests you are requesting. I will do my best to make arrangements for you, but I am severely limited on the seats I have available; in truth, 4 guests per student is probably going to put us near our maximum. There will be updates made here and on FB, but I ask for your understanding and patience.

A message from Mr. Rice, FMS Guidance Counselor:
Attention 8th Grade Students and Parents:
Good Afternoon! I'm hopeful that this finds you well and rested up after a WELL-DESERVED Spring Break!
As we begin the run-up to the end of the year, I wanted to take a moment and let you know some specifics about this year's 8th grade Recognition Ceremony. We will be having our Recognition Ceremony (AKA-- "8th Grade Awards") on Friday, May 27th @ 9am. The event will be held in the Frankfort Middle School Gymnasium. Students and families are asked to have no more than 4 guests per student. If you will have more than 4 guests, please call so we can check on arranging that. With the program starting at 9am, attendees may begin arriving @ 8:15am, but no sooner please (to allow for buses to finish morning arrival). As in years past, parents may sign out their students after the ceremony. :)
If you have any questions or concerns, I'd be glad to help! Feel free to call me at (304) 726-4339 or email at jerice@k12.wv.us
