Dear 8th grade parents,

As the second semester is here, there are many things approaching as a campus,
such as testing and 8th grade activities. At Sugar Grove Academy we want to
ensure you are aware and have the tools needed to support your scholar in all
that they do.
We will be preparing to collect dues in order to make sure we are able to follow
through with 8th grade activities. We are asking for students to pay 8th grade dues
of $30.00.
The $30.00 cost of dues is for the following:
$10.00 -8th grade class shirt
$10.00 -8th grade dance expenses, (food, etc.)
$10.00- 8th grade week expenses (snacks, water, etc.)

Please note if behavior becomes an issue, paying dues does not guarantee your
childs participation in all 8th grade activities. Students may have to sit out of one
or two activities from the week depending on constant misbehavior and truancy.

Please read the following about upcoming important dates:
