Check with any teacher to determine whether you owe fines or fees. Seniors that owe fees will need to go to the Gym first to see Mrs. Jorge in order to get their cap & gown.

For seniors that are participating in the AICE dinner, the cap/gown and yearbook will be handed out at the dinner with AICE stoles. However, you may have other cords or items to pick up between 2:30-4:15.
