Welcome to Cluster 8-4

We are on the Road to Success

Failure Is Not An Option

We believe that ALL of our students can be successful and reach high levels of achievement in school and in life.  We truly believe that every student can learn; and we will work hard to provide the help, support, and guidance necessary for learning.

Late Work Policy

• Any assignment turned in late will receive a 10% deduction per calendar day.


• Having late work or missing assignments will affect the students' conduct grade.  A student can receive a conduct grade of a "P" or "U".

Tardy Policy

Students are expected to be in their classroom with their supplies when the bell rings.  Once the bell has sounded, teachers will shut their doors, and any student without a pass will be considered tardy.  Tardies will result in the following consequences:

• 1st Tardy - Warning
• 2nd Tardy - Warning
• 3rd Tardy - After School Detention
• 4th Tardy - After School Detention
• 5th Tardy - Saturday Detention

Dress Code

• Eighth graders are required to wear black uniform shirts with the Pershing script logo and solid colored kahki tan pants/shorts/skirts.
• Pershing spirit shirts (club & team) may ONLY be worn on Fridays.
• Only white or black undershirts are allowed and they must be tucked in.
• Student Identification Cards must be worn on laynards at all times.
• Cell phones must be turned off during the school day.  Cell phones that are seen will be confiscated.
