Reminders for Seniors

Parents and Guardians of Seniors, 

The following was shared with our seniors today via Schoology. We appreciate your support in helping our seniors remember these important dates, times, and locations as they finish out their school year.

THANK YOU!

Class of 2024, we are down to your final days as HHS students. Congratulations on reaching this milestone. I’d like to share some reminders to help you plan for our final week together.

 

Participation in Commencement is optional - you do not have to attend. If you choose not to attend, please bring a note from your parent/guardian indicating this desire. If you choose to participate, you must attend both commencement practices and follow the commencement protocols.

 

Sunday May 19^th

Baccalaureate - The fellowship of Christian athletes is sponsoring a Baccalaureate service that will take place at 2:00pm on Sunday May 19^th at Hempfield United Methodist Church. 3050 Marietta Ave. All are welcome.

 

Monday May 20^th

The last day of classes for seniors. This is your last official day of school, and your last chance to connect with teachers on any unfinished assignments.

iPads will be collected in the commons during the school day starting at 7:20 am. We expect to collect ALL items at that time (iPad, Apple issued charger & cable, and iPad case WITH keyboard.) See Dr. Wagner’s Schoology post regarding steps you need to take before turning in your iPad.
