If your student is participating in a Continuation ceremony on June 3, please know that students can dress to impress! Students are required to dress appropriately. Please do not let your student wear spaghetti straps, cropped shirts that show the midriff or heels. Students and their families will be able to leave following their student’s ceremony.
