Senior Reminders

Seniors, this is a busy time of year and you have a lot of pieces to pay attention to so I thought it might be helpful if I gave you a few reminders...

-  Caps and Gowns: You should have picked up your Cap and Gown already.  If you forgot to order your cap and gown, please stop by the counseling center to get the phone number for National Recognition Products and call to place your order right away!  Don't forget, if you had planned on using an older sibling's cap and gown, you will not be able to do that because of a change in style.  There is an exchange option that will allow you to trade in your sibling's gown to be able to order your cap and gown at a discounted rate.

-  Diploma Presenter Form:  If you plan on asking someone to present you with your diploma at graduation - the deadline for submitting your presenter request form to the co-curricular office was (technically) last Thursday, but you can still turn in your form if you forgot to submit it. I love the fact that you all have this opportunity as a way to make graduation an even more memorable experience. If you do not select someone to give you your diploma, an administrator from WKHS or central office or a school board member will present your diploma to you.

-  Senior Pictures:  I sincerely hope that you have already taken care of submitting your senior picture to Mrs. Mullen so that they can be included in the Yearbook.  If you didn't get your picture taken, please see Mrs. Mullen to make alternate arrangements.

-  Post-Secondary and Final Transcript Release Form: Included in the senior packet that was mailed to your house was a post-secondary and final transcript release form.  This is a mandatory form that you must return no later than May 2nd.  This form not only outlines your college decisions and scholarships received, but it also allows you to indicate where you would like your final transcript to be mailed after graduation.  The information collected about colleges and scholarships will be used when putting together the information for Senior Recognition Night and when they are creating the graduation program so it is very important that the information is accurate! (For example, in the past a student called one scholarship by the wrong name and the parents were upset that it was listed wrong, so please double check to give the correct details.) If students do not complete the form the school will not have anything to list in the commencement program, so please take a few minutes and complete the information completely and accurately!

-  Baccalaureate Baby Pictures:  The committee that is working on putting together the video of every senior's baby picture and senior picture are anxiously awaiting your baby pictures.  Please make sure to get this turned in asap.

-  Senior Tea:  For those of you who have grown up in Worthington, this is one of those awesome traditions which you get to enjoy.  Each of the elementary schools invite graduating seniors to come back to your former school to be able to see some of the staff members who had started you on your educational journey and walk the halls where the fun all began.  To the best of my knowledge, all of the elementary schools are hosting their senior teas this Wednesday afternoon and I hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to visit your old stomping grounds as well as thanking the teachers and other staff members who helped make a difference in your life.
