Please take a few minutes to read the changes from the State regarding FL Bright Futures.
As students leave the Aloha Walk, we will hand them an envelope with items not previously picked up - honor cords, t-shirt, etc along with their diploma. If students have a school debt, their envelope will be held until the debt is cleared. After the Aloha Walk, remaining envelopes will be mailed home to students who do not have a school debt.

Aloha Walk - Friday, June 26th – starting at 8am
Please use the link below to sign up for the Aloha Walk by tonight,
Friday, June 12th.
CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN
- We will use the amphitheater stage on the backside of the auditorium for students to walk across to receive their diploma while we announce their name.
Original Plan
Students will enter campus through the student gate next to the main office. We will have a backdrop area where I will hand student a diploma cover and a photographer will take our picture along with one family picture. Students can choose to wear their cap & gown or not. The senior along with parents/guardians will then follow a path marked through the campus. The path will be marked every 6ft, so participants maintain social distancing from the family in front of them and behind them. Parents/guardians only are allowed to walk with the senior (4 max not including senior) - no siblings, grandparents, etc. We will invite teachers/staff to return to sit along the path and cheer as families walk through campus. As families exit through a different gate, we will hand each senior an envelope with their diploma (if all textbooks have been returned and fines cleared), graduation program, school pictures from their cumulative record folder, and any honor cords, senior t-shirt, etc not picked up earlier. We will use a sign-up genius for families to sign up for an arrival time, so everyone is not arriving at once. Part of the approved plan is that we will maintain social distancing among families even while waiting to enter campus. With potentially 650 participants, we will have 8 families sign up every 5 minutes, so we will need everyone to arrive at their scheduled time to get everyone through.
We will still have a senior celebration for students later when we are allowed to have a large group gathering to sign yearbooks, do cap toss, and say goodbye to peers and teachers. This will be more of a party atmosphere out at the stadium with food and music.
Again, we are very excited about the Aloha Walk and hope you will join us in recognizing your senior!

SUMMER READING BINGO!
Now is a great time for students to read books of their choice and/or participate in literacy opportunities throughout the summer, earn some cool prizes, and avoid the “summer slide”. Statistics and extensive studies have been compiled over the years about the decline of learning gains due to summer break. Below are 2 graphics that show the best way to avoid the “Summer slide” and how reading just 20 minutes a day increases students scores on standardized tests!
