Attention Seniors and
Senior Parents


GolfBanner This is a reminder that the senior lineup for graduation will be on Tuesday, April 13, during Collaboration. All seniors must have their graduation shoes by this date.

Graduation shoes must be white or off white (not tan) and must have a back strap.  The heels should be no higher than 2-3 inches.

Students will be lined up according to their height WHILE WEARING THEIR SHOES.   Senior families will be receiving more information about graduation activities at a later date.  Watch for news and inserts in the e-Bulletin!

Blue Form Update

The Blue Forms will be given to each senior in April after Easter Break.  These forms are titled the Award/ Scholarship Form and Final Transcript Form.  We use these forms to collect information for the Academic Awards Celebration and the Graduation Program. 

Please ask your daughter to keep all letters that indicate she has received a college, local, or community award or scholarship.  She must submit a copy of the letter(s) with the Award/Scholarship Form to ensure the award and scholarship information is accurate for the Graduation Program and Academic Awards Celebration. She must also submit the Final Transcript Form to secure acceptance to the College/University she will attend next fall.

Graduation Ceremony DVD

Again this year, we plan to provide you with a professional DVD of our Graduation Ceremony if a sufficient number of families are interested.  The cost of the DVD is $50 based on a minimum of 40 orders.  The order form is due with payment of $50 by Friday, April 30. click here for order form

Secret Life of Girls

February 25 - March 6

Based upon interviews with young teenaged girls on the giving and receiving end of bullying, The Palo Alto Children's Theatre presents a play of teen-girl angst that highlights the impact of gossiping, bullying, fitting in with the crowd, and finding yourself.

"This brave study of teen girl angst presents an unfortunately realistic and sobering view of what our kids are facing. Hopefully, the conversation Daugherty starts with The Secret Life of Girls will be continued in homes, schools, and communities, giving all of us a chance to respond and offer solutions to the difficulties that many of our young women face."

-Susan Sugerman, MD, MPH Girls to Women Health and Wellness
