NO CHEWING GUM.

NO CELL PHONES. Please remind your guests to turn off their phones.

GUESTS: Civic Center doors will open for guests at 6:45. The last admittance will be at 7:25. Once the commencement ceremony begins no one will be admitted. All guests should plan to arrive and be in their seats by 7:25. Please remember to turn your cell phones off.

TICKETS: Each graduate will receive 10 tickets for Commencement. Because young children tend to get bored, it is suggested that they be left at home. However, if you expect to bring a baby or toddler you will need to have a ticket for him/her, even if they will be sitting on your lap. A ticket is required for each person attending; this is per the fire code. If you need additional tickets for Commencement, you will need to put the request in writing to Mrs. Hastings for consideration at lhastin@wcboe.org

DIPLOMAS: You will get a diploma cover during the ceremony. You will pick up your actual diploma in your senior envelope and senior class flower in the Flanders room in the Civic Center. We will show you where this room is the day of graduation practice.

PLEASE NOTE: Graduates will not receive tickets if they have any outstanding financial obligations. Tickets will be handed out at senior check-out 5/24/22 after the senior’s last class – again if no fines are due and a working computer with cord is turned in, along with any other school owned materials.
