Attendance Matters
Seniors, please be sure to attend all of your classes. If you have a reason for being absent, turn in your notes and excuses to attendance. You could potentially be in danger of failing a class due to missing excessive days. Accumulating more than 5 unexcused absences in a semester, 3 unexcused absences in a quarter, or 10 unexcused absences in a year long course could result in receiving no credit or FA (failure due to attendance) for the course.
Required Items for Graduation
You will need the cap, gown, tassel, stole and diploma cover for graduation. Order as soon as possible to ensure delivery in the Spring. Please see Mrs. Scriven if you have any questions or concerns. You can click here to order directly from Jostens or visit RhodesGraduation.com to see all packages offered in addition to requirements.

Questions about Graduation Order
Do I have to pay the full balance when I place my order? No. You only need to pay the $60 deposit to secure your order. Securing your order early will allow you the opportunity to avoid any additional fees or paying higher prices for graduation items.
How long will I have to pay off my balance? You will need to satisfy your balance before all items are received (before delivery date). Must be paid off by March 6, 2024. Notices will be sent via email from Rhodes Graduation so be sure to check your email and account. You can also check your balance online at RhodesGraduation.com. - (Click at the top for "Make Payment". ) If you have not paid off your balance by the due date, you are still required to satisfy and pay your fee to receive your items.
When will I receive all the items from my order? Jostens will do a delivery in September and a final delivery in the Spring. All cap, gown, and tassel items will be received in the Spring. Once Jostens confirms their delivery date, a school announcement will be made and an email will be sent to all students.
