oMANY SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES ARE LOOKING FOR MORE THAN THE “MINIMUM”!
oBE SURE YOU DOCUMENT YOUR SERVICE HOURS (WE ONLY TRACK THE MINIMUM –
YOU NEED TO TRACK ALL OF IT).
oSEEK OUT A LEADERSHIP ROLE – BEING A WORKER-BEE IS OK BUT TO GET NOTICED FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS YOU MUST GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE MINIMUM!

BY THIS DATE, SENIORS WILL HAVE FINISHED THEIR COURSEWORK , GRADES ARE FINALIZED AND THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO GET TO THE BIG EVENT! UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS STILL WORK TO BE DONE.
GRADUATION PRACTICE – (MAY 15-17, 2018) EVERY PRACTICE IS MANDATORY!
STUDENTS WHO WORK WILL NEED TO CLEAR THEIR WORK SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK. EACH PRACTICE IS IMPORTANT. IT’S NOT JUST “MARCHING IN AND MARCHING OUT”. WE COVER MANY, MANY LAST MINUTE ISSUES FOR EACH OF OUR SENIORS
(TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS, EXIT SURVEYS, MILITARY COMMITMENT FORMS AND MUCH MORE.)
SENIOR T-SHIRT – OFTEN THE MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EVENT (AFTER GRADUATION OF COURSE!)
SENIOR BREAKFAST – A LAST CHANCE TO LET OFF A LITTLE ENERGY AND SHARE ONE MORE RELAXED GATHERING WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 2018.
SENIOR WEEK ACTIVITIES … THE HOME STRETCH!
GRADUATION TICKETS – THIS IS WHEN THOSE HIGHLY SOUGHT TICKETS TO THE GRADUATION CEREMONY ARE DISTRIBUTED! HOW MANY? WE NEVER KNOW UNTIL SENIOR WEEK! HISTORICALLY STUDENTS RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY 15 TICKETS EACH. NEED MORE? GET ON THE LIST FOR ANY EXTRAS – NO GUARANTEE BUT STILL WE WILL TRY!
FINES AND FEES –
REMEMBER THAT OLD SOCCER UNIFORM YOU FORGOT TO RETURN IN 9TH
GRADE? WHAT ABOUT THAT LIBRARY BOOK THAT’S BEEN RIDING AROUND IN THE BACK OF YOUR JEEP FOR 2 YEARS?
ANY OUTSTANDING FINES AND FEES MUST BE CLEARED BEFORE YOUR STUDENT IS ALLOWED TO RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMA. WE CAN’T STOP THEMFROM PARTICIPATING IN THE GRADUATION CEREMONY BUT WE CAN HOLD THAT DIPLOMA AND FINAL TRANSCRIPT UNTIL ANY OUTSTANDING FINES ORFEES ARE CLEARED.
