Hello Everyone,
The Seniors had a wonderful time enjoying the first round of trips through our Senior Selectives Program. Which has been an amazing way to close out their high school experience. I know that we are all getting extremely excited and perhaps somewhat emotional over the prospect of our kiddos starting to be grownups…soon to be graduates! As we get closer to the finish line, please take a look below at a preview of what to expect on the day we have the commencement ceremony, on Sunday June 4th:
- The Commencement Processional starts at 10 AM. Please plan to drop your graduating senior(s) off by 8:30 AM at the absolute latest!
- Seniors should report to the Hajjar STEM Center to check in, sit for the official class photo, and line up.
- All seniors should be wearing their commencement gowns and carry their caps and tassels.
- Pro tip from someone ‘in the know’: It’s best to hang the graduation gowns on hangers for a day or so to release the package creases.
- The tent opens at 8:45 AM for seating on a first come-first serve basis. Please know there is no limit on the number of guests, nor are tickets necessary. Please be respectful of the “RESERVED” seating signs for our Faculty/Staff, Trustees, and others, which will be clearly marked.
- The formal ceremony typically lasts approximately two hours, and will be followed by an informal reception. Families typically stay for 45 minutes or so after the ceremony.
- Parking on and near campus will be at a premium on Sunday. Please take this into consideration as you plan your timing of arrival. The Facilities Team and Englewood Police Department officers will be assisting with traffic flow.
- Photography information from Highpoint Photos is provided is attached to this email.

Next week, we only have four days of school, here are some of the main events for the Seniors in the lead up to graduation: The Seniors will be at School on Tuesday for a lunch with the Head of School and then an opportunity in the evening to do a Senior Sunset (they already know about this). On Wednesday we have the graduation rehearsal at school, please remind them that they need to be here by 10:30, after which we will have a BBQ lunch. Friday there will be an awards assembly during the day, they should get here early, and then the Senior Dinner in the evening (formal wear encouraged).
Wishing you all a fantastic holiday weekend, and looking forward to seeing you all at the graduation!
Sincerely,
Shai
