Promotion Ceremony FAQ

Q: What time is the ceremony and where will it be held?
A: Silver Oak 6th grade promotion will be held Thursday, June 12, 2025. The ceremony begins at 9 a.m. and will be held outside in the school's main parking lot in front of the flagpole.

Q: What time do students need to be at school Friday morning?
A: Students should arrive at the regular start of school 8:05 a.m.

Q: What do students wear for the ceremony?

A: Nice shirt / pants or dress is recommended.

Q: Are ribbon leis, flower leis or money leis allowed?
A: Yes, students will be allowed to wear leis. Leis are sometimes presented to graduates during their promotion ceremonies as a symbol of celebration, accomplishment, and well-wishing. They are given by family members, friends, or loved ones as a special keepsake to mark the milestone of completing their elementary school journey.

Q: How many guests can parents bring? Can parents bring other siblings, friends, and other family members?
A: The school provides only two seats per family at the promotion ceremony. If parents want to bring additional guests such as siblings, friends, and other family members, they are welcome to do so. However, it is important that these extra guests bring and set up their own folding chairs. If they don't bring chairs, they may have to stand during the ceremony. Folding folding chairs may be set up behind the seating provided by the school.

Q: Is there a reservation system for seating?
A: No, there is no reservation system for attendees. Each student is provided only two seats per family at the ceremony.

Q: What time can parents begin arriving?
A: Parents may begin arriving 10-20 minutes in advance to check in and obtain the allotted two seats, as school provided seating is limited.

Q: Where should parents park?
A: Please do not park in the school main parking lot in front of the flagpole, as that is where the ceremony will take place. We recommend parking on San Felipe Road or in the county club pool parking lot and walking to the school's main parking lot.

Q: After the ceremony will students be dismissed?
A: Yes, 6th grade students will be dismissed and can go home after the ceremony ends.

Congratulations, give your child a high five for a job well done!

Promotion Activities FAQ

What are the Promotion Events?

Promotion events are fun and memorable events that are specifically for the Silver Oak 6th Grade graduating class. The activities typically include the following:

6th Grade Pool Party (optional participation)
6th Grade School Field Trip to Golfland in San Jose
6th Grade Graduation Dance (optional participation)
6th Grade Promotion Ceremony (participation required)

Are Promotion Events mandatory?

The only event that is mandatory is the Promotion Ceremony.

POOL PARTY - optional, payment & pre-registration required
FIELD TRIP - optional, payment & permission slip required
DANCE - optional, payment & pre-registration required

Who is responsible for planning these events?

The POOL PARTY and DANCE are planned by your PROMOTION COMMITTEE. The committee usually has event teams that are responsible for planning and chaperoning each event.

The FIELD TRIP is planned and executed by the 6TH GRADE TEACHING STAFF. Each year they decide where to celebrate the end of the year with students. Information about this field trip and permission slips are sent home by the school. The teachers also serve as chaperones for this event.

The PROMOTION CEREMONY is a jointly executed event between the SCHOOL and the PROMOTION COMMITTEE. The school handles all the logistics for the ceremony, itself... and the cake. The committee handles the decorations, slideshow, ceremony check-in, any give-aways, and clean-up.

How can I volunteer with the Promotion Committee?

For those that would like to help out at events or on a sub-committee, please use this Sign-Up Genius volunteer link. Many hands make light work, and help is most certainly needed to plan an amazing send-off for our kids!

If you are a fifth grade parent that is interested in leading the committee for the next promotion class, please let the current Promotion lead(s) know. This is an informal hand off, year-to-year. It helps to know who is interested in taking the reins for the next graduating class!

HOW SHOULD YOU SEND THEM TO US?

About 6th Grade Promotion

The Silver Oak journey that began for most in August of 2018 will soon be coming to an end. Over the past seven years, our children have made wonderful friendships, had great experiences, braved the challenges of a worldwide pandemic, while creating lasting memories throughout the whole journey. As we prepare for 6th Grade Promotion in June, we are planning a number of events and activities to commemorate our students' last weeks at Silver Oak Elementary School.

Keep Up-To-Date on All Promotion Activities
We will be sending out What's App messages, ParentSquare eBlasts, and updating this webpage regularly to keep our Class of 2025 families informed about event sign-ups, class fundraisers, and deadlines for submissions and participation.

We are excited for our children and look forward to making all these special events memorable for them! If you have any questions, please contact us!
