Dear Caregivers of the 2023 Graduating Eighth Grade Class of BMS:
This year’s graduation ceremony will be held outdoors at the Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium, located at 305 Chandler Street on Tuesday, June 13th at 9 a.m. The ceremony will take place on the field (students) and families will be seated in the bleachers. Graduating students should report with their caregivers and families directly to Foley Stadium. Graduating students should arrive at 8:15 a.m. to allow time for locating their seat and families to find parking. Please be aware that if a rain date is needed, it would be Thursday, June 15th @ 9 a.m. If that is the case, families would be notified by Sunday, June 11th.
Students should dress appropriately following the Worcester Public Schools dress code policy. It is suggested that students wear neat and comfortable clothing (collared shirts/blouses, slacks/khakis, skirts/dresses) as they will be sitting on the field. ALL STUDENTS MUST WEAR FLAT-SOLED SHOES, SUCH AS FLATS OR SNEAKERS. HEELS OR WEDGES ARE PROHIBITED AS THEY ARE A SAFETY ISSUE ON AN ARTIFICIAL GRASS SURFACE.
While there will not be tickets issued, we strongly encourage the limit of family members to six. This is because parking can be difficult in this area (no different than BMS!). The gates open at 8:15 a.m.
We ask that you leave air horns, balloons, confetti, glitter and signs at home or in your car for after the ceremony - in line with other WPS graduations.
** Please do not park in the lot of any surrounding businesses, or you run the risk of your car being towed**
- The Foley Stadium parking lot is directly across the street.
- The Worcester Youth Center parking lot, adjacent to the Foley Stadium lot.
- Ted Williams Little League lot, which is across the street from Foley on Mayfield Street.
- Beaver Brook parking lot on Mann Street- pass Foley Stadium on your left hand and Mann Street will be the first left. There is a paved walkway that leads from the lot to Chandler Street.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Mrs. Mary Scully
