Attention‼️ THCSD buses will be dismissing at 11:20am tomorrow 6/21, Thursday 6/22, and Friday 6/23.
The Graduation Ceremony will be held Friday June 23rd at 6 PM in the Performing Arts Center. The decision has been made to move the ceremony inside due to the potential for rain and thunderstorms.
The PAC has limited capacity, and for that reason we will be giving out 6 tickets per graduating senior. Seniors will receive these tickets at graduation rehearsal on Friday morning. Tickets will be needed to enter and get a seat in the main floor of the PAC.
If a senior’s family does not need all 6 tickets, they are allowed to make their own arrangements and give them to another family that needs additional tickets. Any senior who is not using all 6 tickets and has not made any arrangements with others will be encouraged to take only the amount they need, so that the leftover tickets can be redistributed at rehearsal.
Family and friends that would like to attend but cannot get a ticket, the balcony seating in the PAC will be open, first come first serve, starting at 5:15 PM. If the balcony fills, we will assess the quantity of seats available on the lower floor of the PAC, and let more people in accordingly, starting approximately at 5:45.
If the PAC fills, we will have the HS cafeteria set up as an overflow room, with the ceremony live streaming on a large screen. This live stream is also available for anyone to watch from home at https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=taconichillscsd&parent=www.taconichills.k12.ny.us .
We are very excited that so many people plan on attending and supporting our graduating seniors, and we will do our best to accommodate as many family members and friends as possible. We hope this email clarifies the situation, but if you have any further questions please direct them to pcourt@taconichills.k12.ny.us.
Thank you
Priscilla Court
Senior Class Advisor
REMINDER:‼️
The last day for 4pm buses is Thursday, June 15.🚌
