All,
Much of the information below has already been sent, but please review the end-of-year information.
- Graduation Practice: Graduation practice for our eighth-grade students will take place during the last day of school on Friday, May 31. Students will receive their 6 tickets to graduation during the practice.
- Graduation Activities Day, May 31: In addition to practicing for graduation, we will take a break during the day to celebrate with our 8th graders. There will be old fashioned carnival games, a professional photo booth along with raffle prizes from the generous donations provided by parents. Students who are interested will be able to purchase Old Town pizza slices. In addition, we will have water, Culvers custard, chips and popcorn for everyone. Students that are not ordering pizza should consider bringing a lunch to supplement the treats. The activity day will be outside (weather permitted) so students may want to wear or bring sunblock.
- Graduation Ceremony:
- The graduation ceremony will begin promptly at 2:30 pm on Sunday, June 2nd, at Wintrust Field (also known as Schaumburg Boomers Stadium) 1999 South Springinsguth Road, Schaumburg. Graduates should arrive no later than 2 pm and report to the small parking lot on the southeast side of the stadium. Families are asked to park in the South lot.
- A livestream of the ceremony will be posted to the District 54 YouTube Channel for individuals who are unable to be there that day.
- Students will be walking on the dirt path along the first base line when they enter, and therefore choose your footwear wisely.
- Graduation Medallions: All graduates will receive their keepsake 8th grade medallion at the ceremony.
- Where do we enter the stadium? Guests with special needs can enter through the “Main Entrance” and will be guided to a designated seating area on the concourse. All other guests should enter at the “1st Base Gate”.
- What happens if it rains on graduation day?
If we should have to cancel the ceremony due to inclement weather, we will notify all families by 12:30 pm that day. We will transition to an indoor graduation at 5 pm on Monday, June 3rd at Hoffman Estates High School. 8th graders would NOT attend school on Monday, June 3.
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our front office staff or me. Thank you for your continuous support this year!
Regards,
Chris Bingen
