Hey Raccoons!
We are
just over one month away from Graduation Day! We are so excited to host our
graduates and their family and friends to campus on Saturday, June 12! Check out two important updates
regarding the ticket reservation process and commemorative yard signs to
celebrate your Senior!
Ticket Reservation
As a
reminder, families will be able to request up to 6 tickets per graduate for the
2021 Commencement Ceremony scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 12 at Rux
Stadium. The ticket request window will open in Family
Access on Monday, May 10, and close on Monday, May 17. Please take note
of some important details:
- Families can
reserve up to 6 tickets. Please follow this process to select tickets:
- Log into your
Skyward Family Access account.
- Click on the Online
Forms tab on the left.
- Click on 2021
Graduation Tickets in the pop-up box.
- Complete the
form and hit SUBMIT.
- You may also
select if you want to be entered into the lottery for up to 2 extra
tickets. Families receiving extra tickets will be notified before May
25.
- You will be
able to indicate if anyone in your party will need handicap-accessible
seating. If so, someone from our front office will follow up with
additional information.
- Tickets can
only be requested by the parent indicated as Family 1 in Family Access. We
have allocated 6 tickets per student, not 6 tickets per parent.
- Tickets will
be distributed to graduates at Cap and Gown Pick-Up on Saturday, June 5
from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in the Gale Douglas Field House.
- Seating is
general admission and not assigned. We are reducing density and bringing
in extra seating so that families can create appropriate distance between
each other.
- Gates at Rux Stadium will
open at 8:00 a.m. on Graduation Day. Your entire party does not need to
arrive together, but each individual will need to present their ticket
upon arrival.
- Families who
would like to reserve seats for their group can arrive at 8:00 a.m. to do
so, however, a family member must remain by their seats. There will not be
any re-entry to Rux Stadium.
Overflow Seating in the OAC
There
will be about 250 seats available for overflow seating in the OAC on graduation
day where the ceremony will be live streamed on the large screen. We will have
additional seating in the Little Theater if the OAC reaches capacity.
Please arrive at the OAC at least 15 minutes before the ceremony begins. Seats
will be distributed on a first come first served basis. The OAC will open
at 8:00 a.m. for people to begin seating.
If you need help with this process or have any questions, please call our front office at 262-560-3109.
Yard Signs to Celebrate Graduates- Available Today!
We have
ordered a commemorative Class of 2021 Yard Sign for each senior and they are
available in our main office! Please show your support for our graduates by
arranging to pick one up for your yard. We do have extra signs for students who
travel between two homes, so please feel free to ask for two. Signs can be
picked up in the office by seniors during the lunch period or by a parent
between the hours of 7:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on school days.
We will continue to send reminders about all the upcoming events and celebrations planned for late May. Check the Updates from OHS blog and our Graduation website at: www.oasd.org/Graduation regularly for more information and details of all the important events we have planned.
Have a
great day!
