Dear Parent of 2010 Highland Graduating Senior:
The following information is in reference to graduation and the activities surrounding it.
1. Breakfast ($10) and All Night Party ($40) tickets may be purchased in Mr. Swenson’s classroom (b-8) starting May 1, 2010. Tickets for the breakfast must be purchased by May 20, 2010, so a count can be attained. We recommend that All Night Party tickets also be purchased in advance. They may be purchased at the door for $50. Breakfast is at the ISU Student Union Ballroom at 8:00 a.m. on May 27, 2010. The all night alcohol free party is at the Outer Limits 1800 Garrett Way, Pocatello, Idaho. The doors open at 10:30 p.m.
2. Once again, Stuart’s Photographic Services will be taking pictures as the students receive their diplomas. The proof will be sent to you, along with an order form, within a few days following graduation, or you may select and order your pictures on May 31, 2010, at www.stuartsphoto.com, Please take all your family pictures prior to leaving for the ceremony because immediately after the ceremony all students return their gowns. They keep their cap and tassel.
3. Graduation rehearsal is on Wednesday, May 26, 2010, at 2:00 p.m.. (all students are required to be in their assigned seat at 2:00 p.m.) at Holt Arena. STUDENTS MUST BE AT REHEARSAL OR THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH THE LINE. Practice will last until approximately 4:00 p.m. so students must plan their schedule with this in mind. They must be there for the entire practice. STUDENTS WILL LINE UP AT 11:40 a.m. MAY 27, 2010, ON THE SOUTHEAST RAMP OF HOLT ARENA.
4. ONLY THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS ARE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH GRADUATION. All fines must be paid for a student to receive a diploma that evening. If the student’s fines are not paid, they may go through the line, but will not be able to pick up their diploma that evening. The Bursar’s Office will accept fine money up until 1:00 p.m., May 26, 2010. Students may come to the Bursar Office on May 28, 2010, to pay fines and pick up their diplomas. Transcripts will not be sent to colleges if fines are not cleared.
5. Take the student’s graduation gown out of the box as soon as you get it. We recommend you steam it or iron it inside out with a towel over it. At rehearsal, the student will be shown how to wear the cap and gown properly. HOWEVER, STUDENTS ARE NOT TO BRING THEIR CAP AND GOWN TO REHEARSAL.
6. The recommended attire for graduation is as follows: Boys : dress shirt, slacks, shoes, and socks Girls: dress clothes and dress shoes. Shorts, cutoffs, and bathing suits are not allowed. We do not allow flowers (corsages, leis, etc.) or other external items to be worn and no writing or external items on caps. We want everyone to look the same. (Please see enclosed School District Policy #25 8160.)
7. Last day information: Senior testing will take place on May 18 & 19, 2010 during regular class periods. Senior assembly is at 2:23, Wednesday, May 19, 2010. May 20 through May 26, 2010 can be used to make up homework or class time, as prescribed by their teachers.
8. We ask that you help us make the class of 2010 graduation ceremonies an event to remember by treating it with the dignity and respect that it deserves. Students have worked for many years to accomplish this goal and for some of them, it will be their last graduation. We have reminded students that School District #25's policy governs them throughout the ceremony. We have asked them not to do anything to embarrass themselves or their families. We ask that you talk with your student about conduct because any act by a student, in the judgment of the administration, that is deemed inappropriate will result in the student being removed from the ceremony and/or the student’s diploma being held. Due to past graduation pranks there will be a higher level of security at the 2010 graduation ceremony.
9. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM CHEERING AND APPLAUDING UNTIL ALL STUDENTS HAVE RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS. All seniors deserve to hear their name announced as they receive their diploma.
We would appreciate your help as we try to make this 2010 graduation ceremony one that will be remembered for years to come.
Respectfully,
David D. Ross, Principal
