A. Yes!

replaced?

will ask spectators to move toward the center of the row so that all seats are taken.
Q. What if handicapped seating is needed?
A. Arrangements can be made by calling the principal’s secretary, Mrs. Myrna Gonzalez (273-9391 ext.
6719) prior to the day of commencement. A reserved seat will be held for the individual, plus ONE
family member. DO NOT CALL THE DAY OF COMMENCEMENT!
Q. Should we iron the commencement gown?
A. To make the gown look nice and neat for this special event, we suggest you iron the gown on LOW
HEAT only. You can also put the gown on a plastic hanger and hang it in the bathroom. Steam from
the shower will soften the wrinkles and no ironing will be needed.
Q. May graduates keep the cap and tassel?
A. Yes. Graduating seniors will keep their gown, cap and tassel.
Q. How will seniors know where to return their gowns after the
ceremony?
A. They won’t have to! After the ceremony, they will go back to their assigned room and pick up their
diploma and belongings, and go home!Q. Are all commencement rehearsals mandatory? A. YES! All seniors must take part in all of the commencement rehearsals. The entire event is choreographed so that everything flows smoothly with a sense of dignity that should mark such an occasion. Attendance will be taken at each rehearsal. Mr. Giovino reserves the right to exclude any senior from the ceremony for not showing up at a rehearsal. Q. Will my child be informed if he / she has any fines or obligations to pay? A. Yes. Ms. Hernandez, a secretary in the main office, keeps the fines and obligations records. When a fine or obligation is issued from a teacher, coach, advisor, or staff member, the student is notified. Prior to prom and end-of-year senior events, students will be notified of any outstanding obligations. This list will be continually updated, and seniors will not be permitted to participate in ANY senior activity, including commencement, if this obligation is not satisfied. There is no excuse for a senior not knowing he or she has an obligation! If you are unsure whether a student has an obligation, contact Ms. Hernandez!! Q. Who should my child see to pay the obligation? A. Students should see Ms. Hernandez in the high school office, or the staff member that issued the obligation. A receipt will be given to confirm payment. Q. How long will the commencement ceremony last? A. The ceremony typically lasts about 90 minutes. Q. After the ceremony, may graduates meet with friends and family members to take photographs? A. Certainly! However, they will not get their actual diploma until they return to their assigned commencement room. Q. When will seniors get their caps and gowns? A. They will receive them at the first rehearsal, which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 30. Q. When do seniors get their graduation tickets? A. They will receive them at the first rehearsal, when they get their cap and gown. Q. Are we permitted to bring cameras to the commencement ceremony? A. Yes. Each student will get one FREE professional picture receiving their diploma. Additional copies can also be purchased.
Q. May we videotape the ceremony? A. Yes, as long as you don’t block the view of others around you, and you don’t have wires and cords on the floor. Q. If my child is in danger of not graduating, who should they see to verify his / her status? A. If a student is in this situation, he / she should see his / her guidance counselor as soon as possible! Q. At previous commencements, I have noticed that the graduates throw their caps up in the air at the end of the ceremony. How will students know which one is their cap once they land on the floor? A. Students are encouraged to write their name on the inside of the cap so they will know which cap is theirs. Students are NOT permitted to decorate the mortar board (flat part) of the cap. Q. What do I do if I have other questions that have not been addressed throughout this booklet? A. If you should have any other questions, please contact Mrs. Becky Brown Koehler, Senior Class Advisor, through email (rbrown@lebanon.k12.pa.us) or by phone, (717-273-9391) You may also call the high school office. Q. At previous commencements, I have noticed that the parents and guests are not permitted to call out names and cheer for their child when their name is called to walk across the stage. Is this always the case? A. ABSOLUTELY!! Our graduation ceremony is intended to be a dignified ceremony, and we ask that all parents and guests respect all of those present by holding their applause and cheers until the end of the ceremony!
