*  When:  2 weeks in July (July 9-19), Monday-Thursday, 2 hours/day (8 class sessions)

*  How it works:  Students attend class, receive instruction, and also work on their own using CR's Optimath online mathematics practice system.

*  Optimath website for these courses:  http://mathrev.redwoods.edu/mathjam/  Students registered in any of these courses will have passwords, and work done in the Optimath system will be saved for future reference.

* Note:  Students must be CR students and register in order to take one of these courses.

With the online option below,  you DON’T have to be a registered CR student and you can do this at your own pace.

Year End Information for Graduating Seniors and Their Parents

May is here and many fun events and important traditions are scheduled for our graduating seniors and their families.

Powderpuff Football

6:00 PM on Thursday the 24^th of May is when this annual event is being held. Students involved in this event all ready have their information packets and permission forms. As in the past, behavior at this year’s event will determine if we hold it in 2013. When it comes to behavior, students need to remember to pay-it-forward. This is a drug and alcohol free event, so breathalyzers will be in use.

Picnic

The annual Senior Picnic is scheduled for Friday, June 1^st. As in the past, the location of the picnic will remain a secret until seniors arrive at the spot. Dress in layers, including a swim suit. Food, fun, and games are all included. All standards for participation apply. The last day to clear fees for this event is the end of school on Wednesday, May 30^th. This is a drug and alcohol free event, so breathalyzers will be in use.

Senior Prom

Prom is set for Saturday June 2^nd at Fortuna River Lodge. Tickets will be available in the Finance Office. All standards for participation apply. The last day to clear fees for this event is the end of school on Wednesday May 30^th. This is a drug and alcohol free event, so breathalyzers will be in use.

Honors Night

This year we will recognize our outstanding academic and athletic seniors on the evening of June 8^th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Each year tens of thousands of dollars worth of scholarships are awarded from both local and national groups.

Pathway Completion and Cords

Any seniors working to complete a pathway, the following must be completed in order to receive the graduation cord:

1.      Record all service hours before May 25^th

2.      Accomplish all tasks on the Senior Project Moodle site if you are not in Student Government or EAST

Graduation

1. Graduation Practice: All graduating seniors must attend practice in order to participate in the afternoon’s ceremony. Seniors should plan to gather in the Small Gym at 8:00 AM on Friday June 15^th. Practice will end at 10:30 AM. Students should not bring their cap and gown to practice.

2. Graduation Ceremony:

·  Ceremony begins at 2:00 PM on Friday June 15^th in Albee Stadium.

·  Seniors should arrive in the Small Gym by 1:15 PM

·  Seniors should arrive with their cap and gown in hand, not already on. The Eureka High School Graduation Ceremony is a formal event. To that end, we will be screening for and confiscating balloons, blow-up toys, Silly String, and other inappropriate objects. We ask that parents and guests support this policy and help ensure the event remains formal and respectful to all those participating and in attendance.

·  Seniors with outstanding debt will not receive their official diploma until the debt is cleared. Additionally, final transcripts will not be mailed.

·  Parking for guests with special needs is available through the Del Norte Gate at the field level. This parking is limited to vehicles with the appropriate designation.

·  Tina’s photography will once again be available to take photos of seniors in their cap and gown after practice and before the ceremony. They can be reached at 442-0914.

·  The Graduation DVD will also be available for $15.00. An order form is being sent out so watch your mail!

3.   Safe and Sober Party: Hopefully you received in the mail and have returned          the permission form for this wonderful and safe graduation party held the evening of Graduation. This year’s event will be held at Eureka High School. The doors open at 9:00 PM and all graduates must be in the doors by 10:00 PM. The party will last until 3:00 AM. Tickets are $25.00 before May 30^th and $35.00 after that. Great prizes will be given away all night, with the biggest and best prizes saved for the 2:00 AM hour, prizes like a lap top and the key that just might start the donated car. Across the nation, Safe and Sober Graduation Parties have significantly reduced the number of deaths on graduation night. Please support this effort and let’s ensure all of our graduates make it safely into bed before the sun comes up on Saturday. If you would like to contribute or volunteer for this event, please contact Lori Knight at 445-3438.
