| IMPORTANT GRAD INFORMATION:
Please see Mr. Clutchey in room 1110 to get measured for your grad gown. This has to be done BEFORE Spring Break Grad Transitions 12: At this point, your Grad Transitions assignments should be complete. Be sure to turn in any missing forms (exit interview, etc.) to your teacher ASAP. If your course is not done, you should be attending your fixed block every Friday. Be sure that you’ve completed your PSI online form if you are planning to apply to a post-secondary institution. An early offer of admission does NOT mean that you can skip this step as this is how post-secondary institutions confirm that you have graduated at the end of the year. Remember: it is your responsibility to ensure that your transcripts are sent to post-secondary institutions by their deadlines. Read letters and e-mails from PSIs carefully to ensure you don’t miss a step! Dry Grad: if you are a 2017 Grad and have purchased a ticket to attend dry grad – you need to pick up the “Safe ride home” package (pink) in the office. If you have also purchased a guest ticket for dry grad – be sure to take a guest package also (green). Both packages are on the front desk. These forms need to be returned to the office ASAP – you will not receive any of your Grad tickets until these forms are received by Mrs. Shamro. |
