Dear Eighth Grade Parents and Families,
As a reminder, Berner Middle School will be hosting a combined Moving Up and Awards Ceremony for all eighth grade students on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
The program for the ceremony will include recognition for each individual student, as well as awards for academic, special area classes, and student character. We are so proud of every eighth grade student and cannot wait to share this special moment in time with the Berner community.
In order to accommodate all of our eighth graders’ families to the best extent we can, the ceremony will be held simultaneously in two locations based on the student's last name. Although there are no physical tickets, we ask that no more than four guests accompany each student, as seating is limited.
● Last Names A-G will be in the auditorium
● Last Names H-Z will be in the gymnasium
Additional details for the event:
● Guests will access the gymnasium and auditorium through the entrances at the front of the school.
○ Last names A-G will enter through the Auditorium Entrance.
○ Last names H-Z will enter through the Visitors’ Entrance.
● We anticipate the ceremony will conclude prior to 7:30 p.m.
● Please note this is a school-sponsored activity and all aspects of the Code of Conduct will be enforced.
○ Student attire must be in accordance with the school's Code of Conduct.
We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for our eighth graders and their families to celebrate this accomplishment together. We thank you in advance for your assistance in helping make the ceremony a success!
Sincerely,
Jason Esposito
Principal
