Hello Parents and Future Graduates of 2024!
A few updates as we approach the final stretch before Graduation on Saturday, June 1.
Upcoming Bottle Drive Grad Fundraiser: Bottle drop off Saturday, May 4 from 10am-2pm. Students, parents, neighbours, and all community members are invited to bring their bottles to the Fort High bus loop for donation to support Grad 2024.
Graduation Details:
Where: Millennium Place, Sherwood Park
When: Ceremony begins at 1:00pm, Grand March and Dance to follow at 7:30pm. The ceremony should take roughly 2 hours, so families will be able to leave around 3 pm for their own plans. We ask for graduates and their date (or special person) to be ready for the Grand March by 7:15.
Final Grad List: Our final grad list will be published on May 10. Students on this final list will be able to purchase tickets the following week.
Grad Tickets: Grad tickets will be available for purchase through the Parent Portal on Monday, May 13 at 8:00 am. Tickets are $50+ GST/person and grant admission into the ceremony and the dance. The price is the same, even if you only want to attend the ceremony. Every graduate can purchase up to 7 tickets. Graduates do not need to purchase a ticket for themselves because it is included in their grad fees. Once purchased, you or the graduate can pick up the tickets at the office during regular school hours. If families require more than 7 tickets, please email: shonah.griffith@eips.ca to be put on a waiting list. If for some reason you cannot access the Parent Portal, you can come in to purchase your grad tickets in person starting on May 13. Seating is not assigned, so once the doors open on June 1 at 12:00, you can sit at any available seats that are not reserved. Tickets sales will close Wednesday, May 29 at midnight.
Grad rehearsal: Graduates will be participating in a rehearsal prior to June 1 during school hours with a date and time to be determined. Attendance is mandatory for all graduates. More information to come.
