TIP 1:
With close to 500
seniors graduating from both high schools traffic can become over-whelming.
This is why we are highly suggesting for guests to use the alternate route to
the Student Activity Center.
Taking Loop 480 to 277
will help break up traffic in front of the Student Activity Center and help the
process of allowing vehicles in and out of the parking lot.
TIP 2:
Dress Code! All students
participating in the graduation ceremonies must be compliant with school dress
code policy. Any student not in compliance will not be allowed to participate.
This includes no markings, messages, or labels on the cap or the gown. And
finally, high heels are absolutely not allowed on the field! Girls may only
wear flat-footed shoes.
Tip 3:
Certain items are
absolutely not allowed on the field! Backpacks, purses, sacs, or bags of any
kind cannot be brought in by the graduate. No foreign objects like beach balls,
balloons, air horns etc are allowed on the field. If you are caught with one
you will be dismissed and may cause for the entire ceremony to be cancelled!
And of course TELECOMMUNICATION devices like phones and cameras are prohibited
infield during graduation ceremony.
Tip 4:
All students must line
up on the field already in cap and gown for procession. Every student is
expected to behave appropriately and act respectfully towards all the people
there to honor them. If behavior becomes an issue the student will be dismissed
from the ceremony and they will have to pick up their diploma on the next
business day at their home campus.
Tip 5:
The last bit of
information is in case of inclement of weather. If there is rain on graduation
day, the EPHS' ceremony will be moved to 10:00 am Saturday and for Winn it
would be moved to Sunday June 5th. So, if it is raining the day of
your assigned graduation please tune into your local radio station, watch
channel 16 or call your campus to receive further details.
Graduation
is an important time in all our lives and if we follow all these tips and
procedures the class of 2016’s graduation is sure to be one for record books!
