I have small children in the district and it would be a disappointment if we do not have an 8th grade promotion. Please bring it back and keep it around.

I was a former graduate of the Yorkville school system as was my Brother.. My Mother went from Kindergarten-High School at what was Parkview. I find it really ABSURD you would take that right of passage away from the 8th grade students.

I think this means alot to the kids who work so hard. This is a stepping stone to High School.

How can they not have a graduation ceremony! When I was a child we had a cap and gown and it was a big deal. You want the children to be serious about school, you shouldn't take something like this away from them. Its a time honored tradition for families and students! I am really disappointed. If there is an issue with room, then move it somewhere else in town.

My godson is going to be graduating from 8th grade this year. I was very surprised and disappointed that there will be no ceremony to honor this amazing achievement! Looking back to that time in my life, 8th grade graduation was a big deal to us and meant a lot to get that certificate. It's a shame these kids will never experience it, I say bring back graduation for these kids to be so proud of themselves!!

My mom didn't get an 8th grade graduation in Yorkville due to moving at the end of 8th grade from a town that had 9th grade graduation...this was approx. 57 years ago...I've heard about this my whole life...don't make any other children have this regret.
