5. 8th Grade Graduation News:
Graduation Photo Slideshow: It is time to prepare for graduation! Thank you in advance for contributing to the Class of 2021 graduation montage; it helps us capture the story of the graduates’ journey through Exploris. Please upload high quality images (no screen shots or images downloaded from social media). Cell phone photos work great. You can complete this form multiple times if you need to upload more photos. Here’s the link!
8th Grade Graduation will be held at the Rose Garden (Raleigh Little Theater) on Friday, June 11 at 10:30am. The event will be one hour, students will sit with their families. At this time each student can ONLY bring 2 guests. We hope this number expands. Bathroom facilities will not be available to us, but we have a family that lives nearby, and their home can be used in an emergency. Families will have to bring their own chairs, blankets, food, and drinks.
