Wednesday is the last regular class day for seniors; however, some will need to report to school on Thursday to finish up your final exams.

2.    Seniors:  Be sure to turn in all of your textbooks, library books and resolve any library fines before June 2.  Failure to resolve all books and fines will affect your participation in graduation.  After finals, turn in all textbooks to the library.  {Mrs. Huster}

3.     *For Seniors: This is a project grad announcement about directions for you to follow immediately following your graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 5th. 

Because we are having this year's ceremony at the Waikiki Shell and starting the program later in the day, you will NOT be changing your clothes before going to dinner as we have done with prior project grad events.

After graduation and after some time to celebrate with your parents, family, and friends who will probably want to congratulate you, take pictures, and give you leis, you will be called to board your transportation to dinner. 

At that time, you should give your gown to your parents and then go to dinner with what you are supposed to wear underneath your gown, i.e. either a dress for girls or slacks and dress shirt for boys.  Please be sure that what you are wearing under your gown is appropriate to wear in public during dinner.  There will be NO opportunity to change clothes after the graduation ceremony.  The schedule is much too tight and the restroom and changing room facilities are extremely limited at the Shell.  Again, you will be directed to immediately board transportation to dinner following some time with your family and friends.  Please be prepared to do so!

After dinner, there will be an opportunity to change clothes into your project grad clothes which will be much more informal and comfortable for the rest of the project grad event.  {Mr. Namba}
