Parents can start decorating their child’s table at 11:00 am. The school will provide a black table cloth for each table. After the table is decorated, parents and guests will sit in the audience. Graduating Seniors (who are participating) will report to the cafeteria at 1:00 pm. School staff will line them up in alphabetical order.
Students are allowed to wear jeans with their School/College/Career shirt. It is preferred that students do not reveal their college/career choice until they announce their decision. For example, student “A” may wear a jacket over the college/career shirt until the announcement is made or put on the shirt at the time they reveal their choice. After the announcement is made, the student will proceed to their assigned table/seat.
