SENIOR DEBT & SENIOR EXIT FORM
It is important that you take care of any debts and turn in library books, textbooks, other academic materials, and athletic uniforms. Seniors will not receive their graduation tickets until all debts are paid, materials returned, and their Senior Exit form has been submitted (found on the guidance webpage later this spring). It is not too early to begin working on these items!
ACCESSIBLE PARKING/SEATING
If anyone in your party will need accessible parking, please notify Mrs. Bailey by Fri., April 18.
The accessible lot will be located closest to the seating area, and we will reserve the pods closest to that lot for your family.
Please note that a permit is required for the accessible parking area, but there will also be golf cart shuttles running between all parking areas and seating pods.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The commencement ceremony will be professionally photographed by Geskus, and you will have the opportunity to purchase photos from them. You are welcome to take any photos/video that you wish during the ceremony, but please DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SEATS to do so.
