Fees Owed: Mrs. Gartman, Mrs. Nichols
Books, Lockers: Mrs. Gartman, Mrs. Nichols, Mr. Wilson

Teachers will be given the following information:
Please turn in the name of any senior student making an F for the term to Mrs. Daniels and Mrs. Lores
when you turn in your grade sheets. Do not put an I or an N for a grade unless you have discussed it
with Mr. Tucker. Please make sure that the names of all senior students who owe fees have been
turned in to Mrs. Gartman prior to MAY 11. We will hold their cap/gown until they are cleared.
Attention Seniors:
If there are any conflicts with any scheduled activity, you are to get permission from Mr. Tucker prior
to the activity to be excused, otherwise your absence will be considered unexcused and the given
consequences will follow. However, you are being given plenty of time to make arrangements to be
able to participate in all of the activities from your exams to graduation night. PLAN AHEAD NOW!
You will NOT be allowed to pick up your cap and gown nor participate in graduation activities if you
owe money for fees, books, MacBooks, chargers, MacPacks, athletic attire, fines, etc… Please make
sure your record is clear as soon as possible. See Mrs. Gartman if you have any questions regarding
monies owed.
You have been given a dress code for graduation activities. Anyone who is not dressed properly for
Baccalaureate or graduation will not be allowed to participate in that activity. Please do no test this
policy. It would be a shame for your family to attend and you not be able to participate. If you have
any questions about your clothing, please see Mrs. K.
Our graduation ceremony is a formal occasion. You have worked very hard for this night, and you will
remember it for the rest of your lives. Show pride in your school, your classmates, and yourself by
behaving appropriately.
At graduation, your tassel on the cap is placed to the right before the diploma is presented. Please
remember to pause when accepting your diploma for your handshake picture.
Please ask all family to remain in the stands until after the graduation ceremony is over. Also, please
ask them to keep their cheering at a minimum as it usually drowns out the name of the graduate
behind you.
In case of rain, graduation will be held in the high school gym with only close family members
attending. If it appears that this could happen, tickets will be issued at graduation practice.
Because handicapped seating has been added to the stands, we no longer have special seating on the
field.
If you have any uniforms that you no longer plan to wear, please donate them to our clothes closet.
You may drop them off with Mrs. Beverly in the front office.
MAKE THE MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT!
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, DO NOT WAIT, SEE MRS. K. IMMEDIATELY!
