Senior End of the Year Activities for the 2022-23 School Year

  • Fees

    All fees must be paid by graduation.

    Obligations are assessed if any money or property is owed to the school or District. All school and/or District property must be returned prior to leaving or obligations will be assigned. 

    Fee statements are emailed monthly from PushCoin. All obligations must be paid in order to receive your final transcripts. 

    Students can check obligations and pay obligations with the bookkeeper in the Dean’s Office.

     

    Final Transcript Request

    Students attending college, technical school, or those registered with the NCAA can order transcripts through Parchment by visiting www.parchment.com.

    Transcripts will be processed the week of June 12th, or once grades are finalized.

    Prom Expectations

    All disciplinary consequences must be served prior to April 21, 2023.

    Any out-of-school suspensions will be reviewed by the school’s administration team; participation will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

    Dress appropriately for the occasion. No jeans will be permitted. This is a formal dance and attire should reflect a formal occasion.

    All school rules apply at prom.

    No smoking is allowed at any time during prom.

    If any student is found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, appropriate actions will be taken by the administrators and law enforcement at the dance.

     

    Expectations for Graduation

    You must have a JHS cap and gown in order to participate.

    Inappropriate behavior at school and/or graduation can have an adverse effect on your participation in the graduation ceremony. 

    Please keep in mind that, for some of our students, this will be their only graduation ceremony. When families and students choose to celebrate a specific graduate, it can frequently take away from the moment of the following graduates. Sometimes that timing is extremely disrespectful to the person who is receiving his or her diploma at that moment. 

    At the end of the ceremony, when we present the JHS Class of 2023, it is the appropriate time to celebrate every graduate. Out of respect for your classmates and peers, please encourage family and friends to hold their exuberance until the final moment.

    Students are expected to arrive an hour before the ceremony begins and stay through the entire Commencement Ceremony.
