Graduation Information
-
Majority of information shared with seniors is done through Senior meetings & senior social studies classes or if you are NMSC or RUNNING START, it would be during your assigned HOMEROOM presentations or you will have to meet with your A-Z alpha counselor.
Running Start: Please check in with Mr. Bonaldo EVERY Wednesday he hosts a check in for Running Start students.
These informative LARGE GROUP presentations are VERY IMPORTANT to provide you added support & direction during senior year. We DO NOT HAVE TIME to provide every senior an individualized personal re-cap of what was missed, we are working with over 1,900 students this year grades 9-12. Replies to your questions that were answered during these sessions will NOT be prioritized to respond to. PLEASE make every effort to attend these presentations or find a peer to share the information you may have missed.
