Dear Seniors and Parents:
We are looking forward to commencement for the Class of 2011, on Saturday, June 25, 2011. We are pleased to share the
following information with you:
REHEARSAL: Rehearsal for commencement will be on Monday, June 20, 2011. On that day, seniors will report to official
homeroom at 10:00a.m. Wilson Tech, Alternate Learning Center, and January graduates will also attend rehearsal. They
will be assigned to a senior homeroom. Alphabetical lists of assignments will be posted in the commons. At rehearsal, all
seniors will receive information needed for our traditional outdoor ceremony. Each senior also receives three tickets to be
used for an indoor ceremony in the event of inclement weather.
CAP AND GOWN PICK-UP: Immediately following rehearsal, on Monday, June 20, 2011, seniors will need to pick up
caps and gowns in the small cafeteria. Please note: Caps and gowns must be worn by all students
participating in the graduation ceremony.
SENIOR BARBEQUE: A festive barbeque lunch honoring the Class of 2011 will be held for all seniors in front
of the high school immediately following cap and gown pick-up on Monday, June 20, 2011.
DEBT CLEARANCES: All outstanding obligations such as payments for lost textbooks, overdue or lost library books,
unreturned, missing, or damaged band uniforms, musical instruments, athletic uniforms, cameras, or other equipment,
must be satisfied by Monday, June 20, 2011. Diplomas may be held for those seniors with any such obligations.
GRADUATION CEREMONY: Commencement will be held Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. on the stadium field. All
graduating seniors should report to official homerooms by noon. Each student will be in a homeroom, alphabetized, so that
parents can be aware of the order of the granting of diplomas and be able to locate their child.
IN CASE OF RAIN: We will need to conduct two separate ceremonies in the auditorium. Seniors with last names A-Lo will
graduate at 11:00 a.m.; seniors with last names Lu-Z will graduate at 1:00 p.m. Please note that seniors with last names
A-Lo should report to official homeroom at 10:00 a.m. Seniors with last names Lu-Z, should report to official homeroom at
noon. Due to space limitations, tickets will be required for admission to each ceremony. At rehearsal, each senior will
receive three tickets for admission to the auditorium for an indoor ceremony. (Tickets are not required for an outdoor
ceremony.) You will receive a Connect-Ed message on graduation morning if there will be two ceremonies.
This is a special time of celebration. Please be aware of the important dates and times of these events. Your
cooperation and support are greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Shannon Dantuono Nelson Iocolano
