8th Graders
Dear Families of SPMS Eighth Graders:
Attached, you will find your special invitation to Eighth Grade Night, Parts I and II, to be held on January 24th and
February 21st at South Pasadena High School. These are very important nights for parents/guardians and eighth
graders to come find out about their high school years, our programs and opportunities, and to get ready to dream
big about what the future holds.
There is also a "fridge-friendly" reminder attached for you to post so you'll remember to add these essential events
into your calendars
I very much look forward to greeting all of you on January 24, 2018, in our auditorium. There will be a campus tour,
as well, so please dress comfortably for a bit of walking.
Have a wonderful holiday break!
Sincerely,
Janet Anderson
SPHS Principal

8th GRADE PANORAMIC PICTURE – TUE. FEB. 13, 2018 at 12:30pm
Hey there 8th graders! Can you believe that only a few short months stand between us and high school? Time flies! So let’s make these last few months at SPMS count!
Tuesday, February 13 is the 8th grade Panoramic Picture. The 8th graders have a long tradition here at SPMS to make the panoramic picture extra special by dressing fancy for the photo. All students need to dress in accordance with the school dress code.
8th grade boys:
- Please wear a collared shirt with a tie and slacks, khakis, or dress pants.
- No T-shirts or jeans.
8th grade girls:
- Please wear a nice blouse or collared shirt with khakis, dress pants, or a skirt.
- Dresses are another option.
- No T-shirts or jeans.
So guys grab a tie and show some swagger. Girls, a pretty blouse or cute dress is sure to make a statement. 8th graders, let’s all dress to impress and show the school that the class of 2018 has got real style!
