Good Evening Senior Parents,

As the end of the year draws ever closer, we have a couple of announcements for the class of 2012:

1) Yesterday Jostens was on campus to deliver graduation Caps and Gowns.  Students who did not pick them up on Monday can get them tomorrow, Wednesday, during Advisory.  Please contact Josten's directly with any questions.   (Info can be found on the Student Life- Seniors and Grads page of the website.)

2) Monday, May 7, is the absolute deadline for students to return any end-of-year senior activity forms, including the extra graduation ticket request form.  The first notification about extra tickets will be Monday, May 14.  Lists will be posted by student ID number outside the main office.

3) With only a few more weeks to go, lists are being compiled of students who are currently not passing classes required for graduation. Students MUST pass their required classes, including English and Government, in order to graduate. Letters will be sent home next week for any student possibly "in danger of failing" a required course.  Please check in with the teacher immediately if you have any specific concerns. 

4) Next Monday, May 7th, all seniors who still have an outstanding fine of any kind will be provided with a notice with a list of items and replacement cost. These must be returned or paid for before the student will receive graduation tickets or allowed to participate in the ceremony. Please check with your son or daughter to make sure that s/he has everything turned in.

Once again, the Senior calendar and other forms for school-sponsored graduation events are located on the Hillsdale website, hillsdalehigh.com. Go to Student Life and then Senior/Graduation Information.  There is also a link on the homepage. The deadline to return all graduation activity forms is Monday May 7th. If you have any questions, please contact your son or daughter's advisor.

Thanks...the countdown begins!"
Ms. Lawton

Please check with your son or daughter to make sure that they have everything turned in.

2) Tomorrow, Thursday April 12, Jostens will be on campus at lunch to deliver pre-ordered graduation announcements and any other memorabilia. Please remind students to pick them up. [Caps and gowns will be delivered at the end of April.]
