Attention Seniors and Families:
Graduation is fast approaching!!
This Wednesday, June 5th, seniors can park your cars in the south lot for the school day...car decorating will happen during Advisory (12:45- 1:20), seniors will get dismissed from school at 2:15, and the parade to the Bay will leave the south lot at 2:30. The NCTC van/bus is an option for those who need a ride to the event, but there will NOT be a bus return; students must make their own arrangements to leave the Bay Park by 5:00 pm. More details about all of the Senior end-of-year events are on our website!
Here is a bulleted list of what to expect at this year’s 94th Commencement for the Class of 2024 on Saturday, June 15th at 2 pm at the Collins Perley Sports Complex:
Graduation rehearsal is mandatory on Friday, June 14th, from 12 - 2 pm. Seniors do not need to wear caps and gowns for rehearsal. Seniors will receive graduation tickets at the rehearsal. When they practice walking across the stage, they will be handed an envelope with their tickets for reserved seating.
On June 15th, seniors are to arrive at the Complex no later than 1 pm and promptly report to the rink to line up.
Please dress comfortably for graduation as it can be very warm regardless of whether graduation is outdoors or indoors. If graduation is outdoors, seniors will be walking on turf and sitting on the bleachers so ensure shoes are appropriate (i.e. high heels can get caught in the grass and on bleachers). Seniors should arrive with their caps and gowns on.
Please ride with your families to limit the number of vehicles for parking. Traffic in and around CPSC is congested. Carpooling is encouraged.
Once families and guests have parked, they will be directed to the graduation entrance. Please have your (4) tickets ready to present and you will keep your tickets with you. Seniors will each be given 4 tickets for reserved seating. Other family members/guests may sit in the open seating area. Families and/or guests will be ushered to the seating area(s).
If you, a family member, or guests have special accessibility requirements (wheelchair, hearing impaired, etc.), please contact me and I’ll assist you with the needs and will ensure that an usher assists you upon arrival at graduation.
At 2 pm, the seniors will walk in and march down the middle aisle and the commencement begins.
Whipple Photography will be at graduation. Photographs will include the presentation of the diploma, followed by a portrait holding the diploma. Images from graduation will be posted for graduates and families to view on the Monday morning after graduation. Here is the link: INSERT LINK when available.
Northwest Access TV will be live-streaming graduation. BFA Graduation YouTube Link:
