Grand March
Grand March, special dances and crowing of the King and Queen will be held at approximately 10:30pm following the banquet. Entrance for this will be through the doors at the end of the building, Entrance through the front doors will not be permitted except for family members with health concerns that will not allow for the wait in the hall. Please respect this rule as the congestion that happens at the main entrance in previous years has posed serious safety concerns. As well the noise level with the gathering crowd in that area has been very disruptive for the guests attending the Graduation banquet.
Safe Grad
Safe Grad is a drug and alcohol free event that gives the Graduates a safe place to have fun and celebrate their special event. It promises to be chocked full of fun , food and great times. Students are to be in the gym by 12:30 am when the doors close. They will not be permitted to leave unless a parent or guardian is notified.
Decorating
Decorating preparations have begun. We will need all the assistance we can get to have all our ideas and planning come to life. All parents and graduates are encouraged to help in any way they can. It is a great opportunity to mingle, have some fun and make some memories as you prepare for this special event. We will start to decorate the gym after lunch on Wednesday to Thursday night. Exact times will be conveyed as they are confirmed. Please ask your child to listen for updates on those times.
Outstanding fees
All fees should be paid by now. If for some reason you still have not paid them in full, please make arrangements to have them paid. Graduation is fast approaching and our bills must be paid immediately.
Reminder
