8th Grade Resources

Dear Stacey 8th Grade Parents and Staff,

As you are hopefully aware, we have a themed day every week called Corporate Attire Tuesdays. This is a great opportunity for students to dress as corporate/business leaders, which prepares them for success beyond school. Furthermore, we will offer weekly raffles as an incentive for students who participate by dressing in corporate/business attire.

Corporate attire creates a sense of confidence for Exit Interviews that will help enhance their public speaking and interpersonal communication skills. When choosing outfits, consider what you might wear to a formal event like a wedding or a church service. Here are some guidelines and items to avoid:

Suggested Corporate Attire:

General:

·         Collared shirts, ties, slacks, or very dark jeans

·         Blouses, work dresses, or skirts at appropriate lengths

·         Dress pants with blouses or sweaters

·         Shoes should be clean; heels no higher than 2”

·         Optional jackets or appropriate sweaters

·         Hair should be neat and faces clear

Please Avoid:

·         Casual wear such as t-shirts, shorts, and athletic shoes

·         Excessively tight or loose clothing

·         Clothing with logos, graphics, or overly bright patterns

·         Distressed or ripped clothing

·         Exposed shoulders and overly short hemlines

Please utilize existing wardrobe items rather than purchasing new ones. For assistance with attire, students can consult Dr. Nichols, Mrs. Rife, or Mr. Wharton in the office. This attire will also be suitable for our June promotion ceremony.

Thank you for your support as we guide our students in thinking about their futures.

Dear Stacey Community, As we approach the end of the school year, it's a pivotal time for our 8th graders who are preparing to transition to high school.

If you know any friends, family, or co-workers who may be interested in being an interviewer for our 8th graders, please have them complete the Google form below as soon as possible. We thank you in advance for encouraging them to participate in supporting our students through this milestone.
