May 10th, 2020 - Cap/Gown Pick Up, AP Exams, College Access, Yearbooks

Happy Mother's Day!

 SENIOR CAP and GOWN PICK UP:

 First, make sure that you are filling out the Graduation Form for us to fill your personal slide and the graduation program information accurately. 
  • For clarity, the honors question is in reference to positions or honors received (ex: NHS, Class Officer, IB Diploma Candidate)
  • The “message” can be something from your parents, a quote you like, a fond memory (school appropriate) and has no length requirement.

 Please see the directions and protocols for pick up HERE.

The hours for students to come pick up their cap and gown and take their picture will be between 9:00 am - 12:00 pm or between 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. (Students must be prepared to take their picture upon arrival and will not be permitted to leave and come back at another time.)

    • Ladies will come Monday morning or Tuesday afternoon
    • Gentlemen will come Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning
    • We understand that there are AP tests being administered these days, please contact us directly (pmeaker@dallasisd.org) if these times do not work. 

Our campus and PTA have been working on plans for a opportunity for families to have an intimate, in-person graduation moment on campus. We will keep families informed as plans are approved.
