It is that time when our FALA Seniors are preparing to graduate! Each week, The BUZZ will provide updates and information about the graduation process.
Friday the Seniors met during advisory. Info and action taken:
1. Measurements for graduation gowns were taken.
2.
Send
Dean Crawley
an email with their full legal name.
This includes first, middle (if they have one) and last name. FALA only has middle initials in our system. Student diplomas are required to have their full legal name. During the ceremony if they have preferred name announced, please share this information as well.
3.
Students need to check with their Academic Coach to see if there are any final requirements that are needed for graduation.
Academic Coaches have met with seniors and sent reminders to students about service hour completion and other graduation requirement.
4.
If Seniors have not done so already they need to send their yearbook Senior Portrait and Quote to Mr. Borham.
5.
Senior Projects are in progress.
Dean Crawley has been impressed with some of the projects that are being planned and in some cases have already been completed!

Senior Ditch Day is
not
a FALA excused absence.
Seniors who participate in Senior Ditch Day need to be in good standing with attendance and in their classes in order to participate. This day cannot conflict with performances or finals.

Graduation Ceremony - At the beginning of February Seniors will be given the Graduation Ceremony Letter.
This letter includes the directions and components of the Ceremony. Each Senior will have a letter read and five pictures displayed while the letter is read during the ceremony. This is a lovely FALA tradition that makes our graduation ceremony unique and touching.

The Graduation Ceremony will be on May 31st.
FALA Seniors help to plan the ceremony. They will discuss the specific time and other elements that include speeches and performances. Details will be coming soon.
