Please wear caps and gowns as per your order from National Achiever, and any school-provided regalia (honor cords and medals, etc.). Remember that this is a formal event, so your conduct and attire should reflect that this is a celebration of the hard work of the entire class, together and all the ways you’ve supported each other and been supported by your families along the way! Any supplemental dress or decoration must abide by the district’s student dress code policies
