Welcome to 8th Grade!

We can't believe we're already in our last year at Sutton! Your 8th grade coordinators for the year are Jen Reves, Abby Ivie and Kara Williamson. Feel free to email us at 8thgradesutton@gmail.com. We'll be sending out newsletters throughout the year to keep you updated on all things 8th grade and please bookmark this page to updates as well.

We'll send out information via newsletters and the Sutton Source, and we will also post information on our Class of 2030 Facebook and on this page.

Please take a moment to create an account on the Sutton PTA website in order to receive the Sutton Source and all 8th grade emails and newsletters.

Calendar of Events and Dues

This year is going to be jam-packed with lots of fun events to celebrate our 8th graders and make sure they have their best year ever at Sutton! See below for a general overview of events, but please view/subscribe to our calendar here or by clicking the calendar icon below for specific dates and times as they become available.

We are collecting dues that will cover most of the PTA and Sutton events for 8th graders (with some exceptions as you'll see below). Dues are $150 per student and are due by October 31. You can pay this fee over a 3-month period and you also have the option to donate extra to help cover dues for students who may be in need. Click here or the payment icon at the bottom of the newsletter to make your payment today! If you have questions about dues, need an alternative payment arrangement or would like to apply for a scholarship to cover some or all of your dues, please email 8thgradesutton@gmail.com.

We rely almost exclusively on dues to fund all of the great events and class swag we have planned for our fantastic 8th graders. We cannot fund these events without your dues!
