Senior in Good Standing

In order to participate in our graduation ceremony, seniors must be in Good Standing.  The Senior in Good Standing Policy holds seniors district-wide to continued academic and behavioral expectations commensurate with our school’s high standards.  Participation in the graduation ceremony is voluntary and considered a privilege.  Seniors in Good Standing must:

 

  • Meet TUHSD graduation requirements.
  • Pass ALL classes.  Grades of F or incomplete in any class will prevent students from participating in the ceremony.
  • Attend classes.  Students who receive partial credit for any class, including tutorial, as a result of excessive (five or more) unexcused absences will be restricted from the ceremony. 
  • Behave appropriately.  Suspensions as a result of serious offenses, such as vandalism, fighting, or being under the influence of a controlled substances or alcohol are examples of incidents that will prevent one’s ability to participate in the ceremony and senior week activities.
  • Pay all outstanding bills.  Seniors must clear all fees in order to purchase tickets for Senior Prom.  Return all textbooks, library books, athletic equipment and clear all fees prior to Senior Check-Out in order to participate in senior activities and the graduation ceremony.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the AP Office.  Thank you!

Formal Senior Portraits
See info below.  These portraits are FREE unless you choose to order prints.  The formal portraits are printed in the Yearbook in a special senior section.   

 

Formal Senior Portraits were taken in the Student Center on January 29, 30, and 31 by ABC School Portraits.  Brochures with appointment times were mailed home. 
 
Q:  Do I have to purchase a photo to be in the yearbook? A: No, you must have your picture taken by ABC School Portraits to be included in the formal section of the yearbook, but no purchase is necessary.    ABC offers discounts this year for those who choose to purchase a packet.

Q:  If we don’t have a Formal picture taken will my student be excluded from the yearbook?

A:  No.  The senior formal section is separate from the senior section.  The senior section pictures are selected by the students.  The formal section is an additional section intended to show the seniors dressed up and uniform, in a traditional manner.   We encourage all seniors to have a formal photo taken, whether or not you purchase a package, as you may feel left out if not in both sections.  Special discounts have been provided by ABC School Portraits to support our objective of including every senior in the formal section of the yearbook and on the Class of 2013 Senior Wall  Composite photograph which hangs in Wood Hall.

Seniors may apply the discount coupons to a portrait package option if you choose to purchase photos.  If you choose the Yearbook Only option, there will be no charge for inclusion in the Yearbook Formal Section and the Senior Wall Composite.
