Thursday, October 2nd

Dear Caregivers;

Graduation will be held at the Richmond County Ball Park on 6/23 at 9 a.m. sharp—rain or shine.

Every student will receive 3 tickets to graduation. No extra tickets will be granted.

The Senior Activities Dues supports our school to successfully plan a memorable end of the year for our graduates. The activities fee is designed to cover the following graduation activities:

· Rental of the graduation facility	· Yearbook
· Gown	· Video yearbook
· Printing cost	· Senior t-shirt
· Diploma case	· Graduation program

If any dues are owed, graduating eighth grade students will not receive any of the items noted above.

Senior Graduation Dues are set at $155 per student (sibling $75).
DUES MUST BE PAID ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE, www.is27.org
Please complete the form on the website and submit your payment.
Deadline for dues: Thursday, April 30th, 2026
We will begin collecting Graduation Dues as soon as you receive this notice.

We ask you to encourage your child to arrive at school on time each day, to work hard on classwork and homework and to follow the school rules. Only those graduating will be able to attend the Graduation Ceremony. "Graduating" means that your eighth grader did not fail any major subjects for the year. Going to Summer School does not mean you are graduating. Please advise school secretaries of any changes to your address. Hope to see you all there.

In addition to graduation, satisfactory citizenship is a prerequisite for participation in all eighth-grade activities and trips. Refunds will not be issued to students excluded from activities.

Yours truly,

Marissa Smith, Kim Sica, and Camille Mainolfi
Senior Activities Coordinators
