Churchill Class of 2025 and Families,

We are just two weeks away from graduation! We have processed requests for extra tickets, and students can start picking them up on Tuesday. Students can continue to pick up their 4 reserved tickets and can request a total of up to 14 tickets until we run out. Remember that tickets are only distributed during the lunch period and will be handed directly to the student. If you do not have classes on campus, please contact Jill to arrange an alternative pickup time.

The last day to sign up for walking partners is Wednesday, June 4. You can sign up anytime at Jill's office. Just grab a pink slip, write down the names of all your walking partners on one slip, and submit it in the envelope located outside Jill's office.

This week, please remember to submit your permission slips for the Senior Parade on June 2.

You're almost there, seniors — keep working hard and finish strong!


With PRIDE,
Churchill Graduation Committee

Graduation Information

⚠️ Before You Graduate: Save Your School Data 💾

With only two weeks left before you graduate, now is the time to save your school data before you lose access to your 4J accounts.

When you finish your graduation requirements, your 4J accounts will be closed. This means you will lose access to StudentVUE, Canvas, your school Gmail, Google Drive, and other 4J accounts. 

Google Files, Emails, and Contacts — DO THIS ASAP:
Make sure to save any files or data you want to keep from your school accounts to a personal device, an external drive, or your personal Google Drive. Use Google Takeout to download your 4J Google data at takeout.google.com
It may take a few days for Google to process your request. Be sure to do this before your school account is turned off, which might be immediately at the end of your last day of classes.

Naviance and other 3rd-Party accounts:
If you use your school email for your Naviance account, change it to a personal email address so you can still access it. Do the same for any other accounts that use your school email to log in.

📜 Transcript Requests 📧

Seniors – Many of you will need to request final transcripts. Request your transcript now using this form:  https://forms.gle/NyGjkSzcNZYrfM3b9
 
Please note that you need to use your 4J email to complete the form. Transcripts will be ready starting June 23. Contact your Counselor with any questions.

Emailed transcript requests after graduation will cause significant delays in your college admission process. Make sure to submit your request today!

Cap and Gown Parade Permission Slips

On Monday, June 2nd, seniors will visit our feeder elementary and middle schools to participate in the annual Cap & Gown Senior Parade - a cherished tradition across Eugene School District 4J.

This event gives our graduating class the opportunity to:
  • Inspire younger students
  • Showcase their achievements
  • Reconnect with their roots

Transportation:
Bus transportation will be provided for all participating seniors. Students will depart from CHS at 12:15 pm, immediately following lunch, and return by 1:30 pm. They will be excused from their 7th period to attend.

Permission Forms:
Signed permission forms are required for participation. Forms are available in the front office. Please return completed forms by Tuesday, May 27th

Attire:
Students must bring and wear their graduation caps and gowns for the parade. Caps & gowns will be distributed on Friday, May 30th.

This meaningful event is a highlight for our entire school community. Our feeder schools eagerly anticipate welcoming back future graduates, and we hope all seniors will take part in this inspiring tradition.
