Churchill Class of 2023 and Families,

There are 24 school days until graduation! We hope you’ll find this issue of the Graduation at a G’Lance informative and helpful, and that you get a little bit of fun out of it, too. Keep looking for these newsletters in your email and at this page.

Graduation Checklist

Here is the updated checklist. Please note:

REMINDER: The “Credits” column will be updated after counselors have reviewed midterm grades. You should see this change next week. Please wait until the next checklist is published before asking your counselor about this column.
*UPDATE: Library fines and overdue books have been updated.
*NEW: The checklist has been updated to include a column for student computers. This will not affect your ability to pick up graduation tickets. However, you will not be able to receive your diploma until your student computer is returned to the school.

Graduation Ticket Distribution Starts May 15

Remember, students must be cleared to graduate in order to request additional tickets or receive reserved tickets.

On May 15, Jill will be in the courtyard during student lunch to hand out tickets to students who are cleared to graduate. We do this in the courtyard for the first day or two to avoid having long lines of students in the front office. When the lines start to get shorter, she’ll be in her office during student lunch.

Please have the following information ready to share when you pick up your tickets.

How many total tickets do you need?
Do any of your guests use a wheelchair (how many)?
Do any of your guests require an interpreter (Spanish, ASL, or another language)?
