Welcome to your Senior Year!  There are high expectations for seniors during their senior year and Senior Activities are on the horizon.  Unfortunately, every year there are seniors who are not able to participate in Senior Activities or Graduation Ceremonies because of disciplinary referrals, failing classes, attendance issues, or poor decisions.  Senior Activities include but are not limited to Prom, Grad Nite, Farewell Assembly, and Graduation.

 

We want to make sure that all seniors understand the expectations for grades, behavior, and attendance during their senior year. Failure to meet these expectations could lead to students not being able to participate in these important events.   

 

Clovis West High School, graduating seniors, and the parents/guardians of students who have successfully completed graduation requirements are jointly interested in a dignified and meaningful graduation ceremony.  Therefore, these three parties enter into this contract.  This contract shall be signed, and a copy filed at the school before the student will be issued a cap and gown for the purpose of participating in the graduation ceremony.  Furthermore, a student not having a signed copy of this contract on file with the school will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony.  If students choose not to participate in the graduation ceremony, they must notify their Counselor and may pick up their diploma in the main office on the day following the graduation ceremony.

Clovis West High School agrees to provide a site and appropriate facilities for the ceremony and to provide the legal and traditional procedures required for such occasions.  In addition, Clovis West High School agrees to take those steps deemed necessary to maintain order and dignity at the proceedings up to, and including, exclusion of any student from participation in the activity before or during the event when the exclusion is necessary to maintain proper decorum.

Reasons for denying participation in or receipt of the diploma at the graduation ceremony to an eligible student include, but are not limited to:

 

 

It is understood that any participant breaking this contractual agreement will be denied participation in the graduation ceremony, or be removed from the ceremony, and will not receive a diploma that evening.  In order to obtain the diploma a meeting must be scheduled with the school administration at a later date. In addition, possible consequences may be assigned. The Principal will suspend the graduation ceremony immediately if, in his/her judgment, allowing the ceremony to continue would be dangerous or would not be in the best interest of the graduates, guests, the school, or the District.

 

 

Deadline has passed for the Class of 2024 graduation ceremony.
