Senior Permission Slip

 

  1. Grad Practice

Graduation Practice is mandatory!  It will be at the Carter High School football field beginning at 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 6, 2021.  Seniors do not have to wear their caps and gowns to grad practice.  Please wear sensible but nice shoes to grad practice and graduation as walking on the turf is not easy in high heels.  Seniors will be given their tickets for graduation at practice…DO NOT LOSE THEM!  Each senior is being given 6 tickets and children under the age of 5 do not need a ticket to enter.

Seniors may decorate their caps for graduation but they must bring them decorated, if they choose to do so, to grad practice for administrative approval.  If you choose to decorate the top of your cap, all decorations must be flush to the cap….in other words, nothing can be dangling off it or towering upward.

 

  1. Graduation

Graduation will take place on Monday, June 7, 2021 at 9:00 am on the football field.  The gates will open to parents at 8:15.  Seniors must be here at 8:00.  Ladies should wear dresses or skirts under their gowns. Gentlemen, should wear dress shirts, tie, dress pants, dress shoes.  High heels are discouraged since walking on the turf in them is dangerous.

 

12.  Yearbooks---Yearbooks will be distributed on Monday, May 10 beginning at 2:45 in HIVE for those that pre-ordered.  Virtual students may pick their yearbooks up beginning at 8:00 am on Tuesday, May 11th in the front office.
