Student-Led Conferences Coming
Student Led ConferencesOur Student Led Conferences (SLC’s) for students in grades 9 - 11 are important ele-ments of our Career and College Readiness (CCR) Block program. Parents/guardians are key to our collective work of having each student prepared for the post-secondary pathway. We would like each student to have a variety of options for their future after graduation.This year our SLC’s are scheduled for Monday, March 5th from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We understand that this can require a planned absence from work or other commit-ments. We hope that you will be able to plan ahead to participate in this conference. Each conference is scheduled for a 12 to 15 minute time period determined by the advisor. Students are required to complete an SLC with an adult mentor present. An adult mentor may be a parent, guardian, or adult friend or relative. Students will be texting or talking with you about SLC appointment opportunities in advance beginning on January 31st as they work with their advisor on the SLC schedule during CCR Block. SLC’s are a requirement of this grade 9 - 11 CCR Block credit-bearing program. Please email questions to: [email protected] Attention: Instructional Coordinators

Special things to remember:

If your student receives flowers, the flowers will be left in the dressing area and it may be difficult to retrieve them in the after-graduation confusion. No decorating of hats allowed!
● All seniors are expected to behave in a courteous and proper fashion as usual. Proper dress is required (long pants for the
boys). Please check with Mrs. Williams or Mr. Walters if you have any questions. All rules and regulations for attendance at this school apply through the graduation ceremony. Please make every effort to positively maintain your, and the school’s reputation. Any drinking of alcoholic beverages or use of illegal drugs will result in suspension from all activities, school, and Commencement.
● Reserved seats for graduation: Relatives that are handicapped, or incapable of sitting in the bleachers should contact Mrs.
Vasilauskas or Mrs. Williams regarding reserving seats on the gym floor. These seats are limited, so be sure to call early.
● Out of consideration for the families of all graduating seniors, please do not have a few family members arrive early to reserve bleacher seating areas. Bleacher seating is available on a first come - first served basis.
● Reminder to all family and friends attending graduation: this ceremony is a very special time for our senior, their families and
our community. We realize that this is a time for personal celebration, but we ask that your celebrating not take away from the enjoyment of this dignified and special occasion. We ask that you wait until after the ceremony to “celebrate.” Thank you for your cooperation in making this one of the best graduation ceremonies in Lewis County.
● Senior Skip Day does not exist, and should such an event occur, all involved will be treated as truants and Senior Week
Activities will be eliminated for those students.
● Remember that since other students and teachers will be in class the days of June 11-15, we would appreciate seniors not returning to campus during this time. If you need to come back for business purposes, please check in through the office.
● All fees and fines must be paid in the ASB office or your diploma will be withheld. Diplomas will be available to pick
