MCMS Culmination Requirements

8th grade students look forward to several special activities as a part of successfully completing middle school.  These activities include the 8^th grade dance, the 8^th grade trip to Disneyland and the culmination ceremony. These privileges are only available to those 8^th grade students who meet the standards for culmination.

8^th grade students must meet the following requirements:

• All students must maintain a minimum average GPA of 1.5. 

• All students must not receive more than four (4) "Unsatisfactory"marks in Citizenship, during the 8^th grade academic year, with no more than one (1) "Unsatisfactory" mark in Citizenship during the final quarter of the 8^th grade academic year.
•  All students must have no Fails in the final quarter of the 8^th grade year

Activities may be denied for violations of standards during the final semester.

Discipline suspensions or referrals may also cause students to be prevented from participating in the culmination activities.

If a student does not meet these privilege standards,participation in school activities, culmination, promotion or retention of the student will be determined by the Student Study Team.

Please note: If you are planning to play sports in high school CIF rules state that you must have a 2.0 GPA and no F's on your report card. Middle school students should make sure that the last report of this year meets that requirement or you will not be eligible to participate in sports during the first quarter of your Freshman year.
