The All-Knight Graduation Party is open to all members of the current year graduating class. It is a fun, safe, substance-free opportunity for the students and their classmates to celebrate their graduation together. The party is traditionally held the evening of graduation at the North Andover High School and is planned and run by a volunteer parent committee dedicated to the safety of the students on graduation night. The SOS Health/Safety committee is comprised of trained health professionals who volunteer and are available to administer first aid in the event of injury during the party. North Andover Police Department Officers are also present the whole evening.
***
Registration and Health Forms must be completed to attend. FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED BY BOTH THE STUDENT AND A PARENT/GUARDIAN.
Attendees MUST be current graduates of North Andover High School.
Check-in begins at 10:30 pm and closes promptly at 11:30 pm. Students arriving after 11:30 pm will not be admitted and their parent/guardian will be notified that they will be returning home.
Parent/guardian will be contacted if registered students do not arrive.
Students must arrive at the party drug and alcohol free and abstain from the use of drugs and/or alcohol while in attendance. Event volunteers and the NAPD will maintain a zero tolerance policy in regard to students suspected of using such substances. The parent/guardian will be contacted during the night to come pick up their student if this policy is violated.
The party is a "lock in" and students MUST remain until sunrise (between 4:30 and 5:00 am) unless they become ill or have a special circumstance, in which case students will be allowed to leave ONLY if the parent/guardian comes to pick them up. If there is a situation in which a student must be dismissed before the 5:00 am dismissal time, the parent/guardian must fill out and sign an early dismissal form and come into the building and pick the student up from the party. Students will not be allowed to drive themselves home early. Please email sosnahs@gmail.com with early dismissal inquiries.
No personal belongings will be allowed in to the school aside from a wallet, phone, and yearbook. Any other possessions should be left at home.
Students should arrive in clothing that they will be comfortable in all night.
Although entertainment varies from year to year, in the past there has been a hypnosis demonstration. This demonstration is done in a tasteful and respectful manner. Audience participation is optional, and any student wishing to not to attend the demonstration will be provided an alternate activity in another location.
We encourage parents to drive their students to and from the party. It is not mandatory, but it is a long night and students are often very tired by 5:00 am. As their safety is our priority, we recommend that students don't drive themselves.
