Dear Parents and Guardians:
Enclosed with this letter, you will find the "Schedule for Seniors" which outlines the responsibilities for seniors from May - June. We request that your son or daughter not make any commitments that will interfere with this schedule. Seniors are encouraged to work hard during the remaining days of school to insure their successful completion of graduation requirements.
The graduation ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 8 at 1:00 PM at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium (the VETS). Due to the large seating capacity of that facility, tickets will not be needed for seating. Some parking will be available on the surrounding streets. There are also several parking lots normally reserved for State offices that are open for parking on Sundays. Graduating seniors must arrive no later than 12:15 PM. Guests will not be admitted any earlier than 12:30 PM.
Graduation from high school is a ceremony that comes only once in a person's lifetime. We attempt to make it an experience that will hold meaning for all of the graduates of East Greenwich High School. We ask that you as parents help us in impressing upon your son/daughter the dignity and honor of this occasion. Please discuss with your child the importance of courteous and appropriate behavior and proper dress throughout the graduation and Ivy Day exercises.
One of the concerns that we all share at this time of year is the increase in social activities celebrating graduation and the potential for tragedies resulting from substance abuse. We will discuss this topic with our seniors and impress upon them our concern for their safety. Parents should take every opportunity to remind their children of these dangers and let them know how important their lives are to all of us. We also want to remind seniors to avoid behavior which could jeopardize their participation in the graduation ceremony.
On behalf of the entire high school faculty, I would like to thank you for the support that you have given to East Greenwich High School. We look forward to sharing with you the joy that the graduation season brings to our students and the East Greenwich community.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Podraza
Principal
