We are thrilled to invite you to Epic's Kindergarten Graduation Ceremony.

Kindergarten students, we would like to congratulate and celebrate you at one of our ceremonies. We are offering these events at five different locations, on five different dates, to accommodate more of our families. Space is limited. It is better to register sooner rather than later so you can attend the ceremony of your choice. We ask that all who plan to attend register, so we can ensure we are not exceeding capacity at each of the event spaces.

In preparation for these ceremonies, we would like to share information we think will be helpful in your planning of attendance and participation.

You may be wondering what will happen at the event.

Students will walk across the stage and receive a certificate of participation for being a part of Epic’s 2024 Kindergarten classes. The ceremony will not guarantee promotion to the next grade; students will need to complete all necessary coursework for promotion.

Ceremonies will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Photographers will be available beforehand for pictures. Graduation caps and gowns will be available to use for pictures.
