 Requirements to participate in the  Commencement Program

In order to participate in Commencement exercises (Graduation) and Swing Out, Seniors must meet the following requirements. Caps and Gowns will not be distributed to those students who have not met these requirements on time:  

 1.) All academic graduation requirements have been met.   This includes the verification of the final completion of any correspondence classes being taken.  Students should meet with their counselors to make sure they are in good standing academically.

 2.) All time commitments (such as Saturday detentions) have been completed.   Students who are unsure of their attendance status should meet with  Mr. Sherman or Mr. Fish to verify.

 3.) All financial obligations to the school (such as: book fines, equipment fines, locker fines, class dues , etc. ) have been paid . If you are unsure what you owe at this point, see Mrs. Browder in the High School Office. All seniors will be supplied with a fees and fines list at a Senior Class meeting in May. Students who miss this meeting can pick up their informtion  sheet at the HS Office. All financail obligations must be completed prior to graduation rehearsal on Wednesday, May 22nd in order  to receive a Cap & Gown for Swing Out.   

 4.) All school-owned books and equipment have been returned and lockers have been cleaned. Fees will be charged if the custodians have to clean out your locker. Please take the time to clean your locker and save yourself some money. NOTE: After cleaning out your locker, see Mr. Fish, Mr. Sherman  or Mr. Hiltunen. One of them must  initial your sheet before you are cleared of locker fines.

 

 5.) Participation in graduation rehearsal.   In order to participate in Commencement exercises, graduating seniors must be in attendance and participate in graduation rehearsal.  If there are circumstances beyond your control that will prevent you from attending graduation rehearsal, see Mr. Hiltunen prior to May 22nd .

Financial Aid Information

It is never too late for families of graduating seniors to apply for 2013 financial aid. Although the deadline for state college aid is March 1, 2013, families still may file for federal aid and grants. If you are filing, it is recommended that you file online at www.fafsa.gov. Remember that the student and a parent both need to file for a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov It is best to have your PIN before filing your form. If there are any questions, they should be referred to 1-800-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) or contact the college where the student will be attending and ask for the financial aid office. Each college has financial aid advisors who can help you with your questions.
