"Senior Prank": Any student involved in a "Senior Prank" will lose the right to participate in the graduation ceremony.
Graduation Rehearsal will be at 1 p.m. on June 10 in the Soquel High football stadium. Rehearsal is mandatory. Anyone who misses the rehearsal will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony. If you are late to rehearsal, you will be assigned a seat at the back, so it may not be possible to sit with a friend.
Graduation Ceremony will be held June 11 at 12 noon in the Soquel High football stadium. To make sure this important occasion comes off without a hitch, please keep in mind these important considerations:
All graduates must wear a cap and gown. Keep in mind that graduation
robes and caps are a unifying symbol of the school and are not to be decorated or written on in any way. Students who do not have a standard, undecorated cap and gown will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony. Flower leis are acceptable.
Graduation robes do not cover feet and ankles, so all walking graduates should wear either skirts, dresses OR dark slacks (no blue jeans). Shoes should be dark close-toed walking shoes. Stiletto heels may not be worn, as they will damage the turf and stick in the rubber based field. Remember, the video tape of graduation will show the graduates feet as they walk across the stage.
The top 10 percent of the class will wear a gold cord, which will be distributed to them before the ceremony.
Students are expected to pay all debts owed to the school, including the return of all textbooks, by 1 p.m. on Thursday, June 10. Those who still owe money, Saturday School hours or detention hours will not receive their diplomas until all obligations are fulfilled.
After graduation day, students may clear their accounts (fines & textbook and Saturday School hours) and pick up their diplomas from Monday, June 14, through Thursday, June 17, from 8 a.m. to noon ONLY.
Please remember that any disciplinary infraction resulting in a suspension during second semester could mean exclusion from the graduation ceremony.
On Friday, June 11, all graduates must be in the staging area on the soccer field at 11 a.m. No
exceptions.
The stadium will be opened for seating for the graduation ceremony at 10 a.m. Guests who wish to be seated at that time may do so. Any seat left unattended may be taken by someone else. The posting of signs, blankets, etc. will not secure seats for the ceremony.
Official still photos and a video recording of the ceremony will be available for purchase. Order information for both items will be found in the program.
Students and spectators are both asked not to bring any noisemakers or other distracting objects to the ceremony. Anyone who creates a disturbance will be removed from the graduation. Please help to make this an orderly and dignified ceremony where all the students' names can be heard and students can be seen as they receive their diplomas.
No spectators will be allowed on the track or infield area during the ceremony.
Parking is located in four locations and will be monitored by parking attendants:
1. Cars will be parked in the upper field starting at 10 a.m.
2. Once the lower area is full, cars will be directed to park in the upper parking areas.
3. Once this lot is full, cars will be parked in the Little League lot across the driveway from our student parking lot.
4. Those in need of handicapped parking consideration should call Cheryl Walton at 429-3909 ext. 129. A limited number of spots are available in the circular driveway area near the stadium entrance.
5. Limited parking is available at the Anna G. Cummins County Park immediately north of the high school entrance. This park has a clear footpath to the stadium.
Each and every student deserves an opportunity to be recognized for their achievements with dignity in the presence of family and friends. Thank you all for making this a memorable occasion for all involved.
Sincerely,
Ken Lawrence-Emanuel, Principal
Rod Martin, Assistant Principal
Ron Mehuron, Assistant Principal |
