Dear Senior Class Students and Families:
The processing of the purchase and distribution of honor cords in a similar way as we did last year. Honor cords are available for purchase to recipients of Advanced Placement awards, GPA awards (3.5 GPA), Senior Class Leadership and to recipients of Wolverine Guard. There are no fees for the National Honor Society students and to students achieving a 4.0 GPA.
Honor cord purchases are optional and the cord cost is $10 per cord. Honor cord fees have been added to student accounts to allow for online payment. Honor cords will be available for online purchases through June 1st.
After June 1st honor cord fees will be removed from student accounts. Cost of the honor cords is waived for students on the fee waiver program. If you have questions regarding award qualifications please contact Lynn Semler, semler@bsd405.org, or if your questions relates to the online payment process, Cathy Lanning, lanningc@bsd405.org
We are working towards bundling honor cords, medals, and all other graduation-related items for distribution to families in early June.
