Graduation Preparations
- Seniors: Caps, Gowns, & Senior Shirts
As a reminder, it is important that all seniors submit the information below.
Seniors, please take the time to fill out the Google Form (access with your school email) to share your size for caps, gowns, and senior shirts. We require ALL seniors to complete this form to allow us to complete our order in a timely fashion prior to Thanksgiving break.
2. Senior fees
Now that we are in full swing of the school year and heading towards graduation, we are in the process of ordering caps and gowns, senior tee shirts and yard signs for our students. To cover the costs of these items we have a Senior Fee to save parents the hassle of ordering separate items.
The payment portal for Senior Fees is now open. The Senior Fee of $100. This amount pays for the Cap and Gown for Graduation, A Senior Yard Sign, Senior Tee Shirt and meals at the final graduation practice.
We plan to have the caps and gowns delivered in the Spring to allow for lots of photo opportunities.
To pay the fees please go to the SchoolCashOnline Payment Portal on the school web page. There are also two opportunities to make a voluntary donation to help students who are experiencing financial difficulties.
Senior T-Shirt Designs
Calling all Seniors to start brainstorming ideas for our Senior class shirt! We will be asking for designs when we return from our Thanksgiving Break. We cannot wait to see your amazing designs!
Senior Parents
This can be a challenging time of year for seniors. As families come together for the holidays, our seniors sometimes are asked; "where did you apply", "where are you going to college", "Did you get in yet" etc. These conversations can be stressful as seniors wait to find out early action decisions or continue to meet the early action deadlines. Let us do our best to steer away from some of these conversations to allow our seniors to de-stress during the holidays.
