Class of 2024 Graduation Yard Signs Are In!
If you ordered a senior yard sign before we returned from spring break, it has arrived and can be picked up in the DFHS front office. Please email Mrs. Erin Rivers at earivers@lexrich5.org with any questions. Thank you so much!
Graduation Walk - Thursday, May 23 at 8:30 AM
Each year, the graduating seniors at each high school are invited to, as a group, return to the elementary school they attended. This is a great chance to look back at where you started 12 years ago and a way to inspire the kids attending those schools now. Typically, the Senior Walk lasts about 30 minutes, but each elementary school handles it a little bit differently. The district has scheduled the Class of 2024 Senior Walk for Thursday, May 23 @ 8:30 am. Save the Date!
In an effort to provide each school with a better idea of how many seniors to expect, please RSVP using the attached form below.
D5 Elementary School Senior Walk on May 23: Let us know if you can come by responding here!
Please check Google Classroom for more specific information from individual schools. The information there will be updated as it is received. You can also view the document below for information sent by the elementary schools.
