Dear Parent/Guardian of a North Laurel High School Senior:
We expect that you have a great number of questions about fees and graduation requirements. Therefore, we
wanted to take this opportunity to share some dates and general information with you. Please, be aware that debts will
have to be paid before your child can graduate. Debts do carry over from year to year. Have your child check the library,
lunchroom, bank, etc. to clear all debts. No checks will be accepted after the mid-April KGI delivery date. Call Kelli
Gray at 862-4707 if you have questions regarding student debts.

sufficient supply.
A $70 deposit to KGI will be due on this date. The
balance will be due in late February 2013 --- whether or

with credit card on September 25th, please bring the card,
or, provide the following three items: type of card, card
number, and expiration date. KGI accepts Visa, Master

are not ordering items from KGI, they need to put
height and weight on KGI form so cap and gown can
be ordered.

them or not. The school photos are the ones
used in the school graduation announcements
that are submitted to the local newspapers.

If you’re bringing a casual picture from an
outside photographer, Mrs. Gray or Mrs. Sears
need a photo on CD, or through email by
December 1st. If you have questions, contact
Kelli Gray or Wilma Sears.
