Attention Seniors
Class 2020 Final Farewell Diploma Celebration
We know that these past few months have been quite difficult for you. As we close the chapter to the end of the 2019-20 school year, we want to give each of you a proper farewell. In an attempt to celebrate you, the Class of 2020, we will be holding a final farewell rolling diploma celebration in your honor on Wednesday, May 27th from 1:00 – 4:00 PM.
Our game plan is for you to parade with your family or friends of your choice in your vehicle to receive your diploma while being recognized by faculty, staff, and well-wishers. We want the last memories of your Raider journey to be one you will never forget.
In preparation for this celebration, below are a few things we need you to do and remember:
- Please pay any outstanding fines and fees
- Chromebooks/textbooks/library books must be returned or paid for before Wednesday.
- Dress in your cap and gown. (Colson Photography will be taking pictures, so present your best).
- Invite your parents/friends to join you in your car as you take this ride to Shaw High for the last time. (You can only have as many passengers as seat belts.)
- If you would like, you may decorate your cars.
- You will enter at the back of the school in the bus loop.
- Stay in your car once on campus to receive further instructions.
In order to ensure we keep traffic moving, we need for you to come at the following times:
Students with the last names:
A – J 1:00 – 2:00 PM
K – P 2:00 – 3:00 PM
Q – Z 3:00 – 4:00 PM
This celebration will not replace the live graduation we are planning in July. However, it will replace the original diploma pick up schedule you received last week.
We are very proud of each and every one of you and we pray you will not miss this event. If you are unable to pick up your diploma on May 27th, you may come on May 28th from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
We look forward to seeing you on May 27th!

Senior Parents
If you have not had your individual senior parent meeting with Ms. Cypert this school year, it is imperative that you call the guidance office secretary, Mrs. Barrington, or email Ms. Cypert to set up a time to meet within the next few weeks. Ms. Cypert must meet with all seniors and their parent or guardian.
Parents
As a reminder, emails for Student Checkouts are NOT allowed unless it is a documented emergency. Checkouts may be done by guardians in person through our Attendance Office. If your student is a driver, you may send a parent note that it is ok for the student to check out at a certain time. You must include your name, phone number, and signature for this to be verified by our front office staff.
