Anything else I should do before graduation?
Seniors should continue to put forth their best academic effort until the end of the school year. Make sure you are caught up in all of your classes. Don’t forget the fourth quarter senior behavioral expectations. Pay any fines you may owe.
The day of graduation, make sure to eat well and drink a lot of water. We wouldn’t want you to get dehydrated. Trust us- this is important.
We want your final weeks with us to be positive and fun. High school graduation is one of the most memorable times of your life but it can be a stressful time too. It will go by fast, so, make sure to take time to enjoy it!
