NAPERVILLE CENTRAL H. S.
COMMENCEMENTRAIN INSTRUCTIONS
Dear Seniors and Parents:
This year, we will begin a new plan for holding Commencement in the event of rain. Instead of moving to the next day, we will hold it on the same day, inside, following the same time schedule. In order for this to be successful, we have specific instructions for all to follow to insure a safe and enjoyable evening for you, your guests and our graduates.
Two RED tickets will be given to each family of our graduates. When your student picks up their cap and gown they will sign for two REDtickets.If you have multiple children in the class, one of your students will sign for the tickets. These tickets will allow the ticket holder admittance to the MAIN GYM, where the ceremony will be LIVE. Due to seating restrictions, even small children will need a ticket to enter the main gym.
GRADUATES: At 6:00PM, graduates will enter through Door 10 – direct to the field house – No ticket required .
