All senior class members eligible to participate in Commencement are expected to attend. Eligibility is determined by successful completion of the academic requirements set by the Perry Board of Education. Students who have completed all requirements will be eligible to go through the ceremonies and receive their diplomas on June 2, 2001. Students who have not passed all of the 9th grade proficiency tests may attend senior activities but, will not be able to participate in commencement ceremonies. Attendance at Commencement Commencement exercises are a regular part of a senior's school year and therefore, a required activity.
Commencement exercises are a regular part of a senior's school year.
Only as a result of discussions between the parents of a senior and the principal of the school can a senior be excused from this function. In order for any graduation program to be completely successful, the audience too must play a particular role in the proceedings. Clapping, whistling, shouting, or any other such loud or abusive behavior, is considered inappropriate at a Commencement ceremony. Dignity and decorum are the order of the day. Please do your part to set a good example for our children.
