Senior Responsibilities

April 2013

Dear MHS Senior:

The tone of this letter may seem somewhat blunt – there are a few things that you folks will need to take care of!

1. Please remember that it is your responsibility to take care of all your school obligations before graduation. You must return:

• All library books
• All textbooks
• Resolve any disciplinary consequences
• Resolve any debts to the school and/or cafeteria

To pay off debts, you must bring cash or a money order payable to Medway High School in the dollar amount to cover any lost textbooks, library books, school equipment etc. which you may have lost. You may also bring cash and request a receipt from the office staff.

Seniors who have not taken care of any obligations will not receive their caps/gowns until they have done so; the right to participate in any activities, including the prom and graduation, can also be revoked.

2. The graduation ceremony itself is a dress-up affair.

Young women, please wear appropriate clothing and shoes (no sandals, flip-flops or jeans) for graduation.

Young men, please wear dress pants, button-down shirt and tie (no sandals, flip-flops, jeans). Please be sure all clothing is appropriate for graduation.

Please be sure to arrive in the auditorium 1 hour before the 2:00 P.M. graduation ceremony on Sunday, June 2, 2013.

3. Graduation rehearsal and Class Day are very important! We use this time to review procedures and help you look great for graduation day, in addition to distributing caps and gowns. Please be sure to arrive on time for all rehearsals!

4. If graduation is moved indoors, space will be limited; we will provide tickets to each family, as our space is capped based on current fire codes and regulations. We will also set up to simulcast the ceremony in the auditorium and perhaps the cafeteria to allow for more people to be on campus. We appreciate everyone respecting those limits.

5. Most importantly, senior graduation is a celebration and a privilege. Please do not do anything inappropriate either at school or any of the senior activities which would force the administration or the class advisers to prevent you from attending senior week activities and, most importantly, your graduation. It indeed would be a shame to work so hard to reach this day only to lose the privilege of walking on June 2^nd.

We certainly look forward to celebrating with you throughout late May and early June. A lot of hours and hard work are going toward making your culminating events at Medway significant and memorable, and we appreciate your assistance and cooperation throughout your final weeks as students of Medway High School.
