Senior Obligations

Mandatory
Senior dues are $35 and must be paid by Sept 24.  (Dues covers the senior T shirt and the senior dinner.  Students who miss the due date will not receive a senior T shirt as we only place one order and do not order any extra).  Seniors must pay their dues in order to purchase a Homecoming ticket.

Obligations
It is very important that seniors begin paying down obligations: magnet fees, missing books, lab fees, magnet supplies (tuxedos, instruments, etc.).  Please do not wait until the end of the year to take care of this.  Remember it takes time for teachers to resolve missing textbook issues.

Career Passports Portfolios
Career Passport Portfolios are a state requirement for graduation.  The portfolio consists of a resume, reference sheet, an activity sheet, and a career narrative.  This portfolio is completed in English classes and the due date will be assigned by that teacher.

Cap and Gown

Cap and gown for graduation is $43.  Graduate services will distribute order forms for caps and gowns, invitations, announcements, memory books, etc. on February 2 and 3.  They will collect order forms and money on February 2nd and 3rd during B and C lunch in the cafeteria.  Please pay attention to due dates to avoid late charges.

Students who borrow a cap and gown form an older sibling or friend will need to buy a 2011 tassel for $8.  See Ms. Spangler for this.

Announcements, invitations, memory books will be delivered to Stivers on April 14th.  Caps and gowns will be handed out at the first commencement practice.

Composite Photo

Students who would like their photo to appear on the Class of 2011 composite photograph need to schedule an appointment at Schwabe Studio.  The composite photo is $35.

Optional
Senior pictures
You may use any photographer you choose for your senior pictures.  Do not feel pressured to purchase senior photos or to use one studio over another.  Senior photos can be very expensive.  Many students use Schwabe Studio.  During the months of August and September Schwabe’s is giving a 20% discount on sessions.

Homecoming
The Homecoming Game is Friday, September 30th at Welcome Stadium (King and Queen will be announced at the game) and the Homecoming Dance is Saturday, October 1 at Stivers. The Stivers Homecoming is a semi-formal event and the ticket price is $15. Students my purchase one ticket for a non –Stivers guest for the same price. This dance is the main fundraiser for the senior class.  Tickets will be on sale the week of the dance.  Seniors must have paid senior dues to purchase a ticket.  Ms. Spangler can answer questions about this event.

Senior Dinner (Dance)
The senior dinner/dance (time and date to be announced) is a nice event for seniors only (no family or friends).  Seniors will eat dinner, receive senior superlatives, watch the senior slide show, and take photographs.  This event is for seniors who have paid their senior dues.

Senior Awards Night
Date and time to be announced.  Although this is an optional event, we would like for all seniors to attend.  Each senior will receive something on that night.  Teacher will honor students with awards and scholarships will be announced.  Students attending should dress nicely as they will be on the stage at some point in the night.  Families are welcome for this event.

Prom
The Prom is May 4th.  Prom is a formal event and is held at the Greek Orthodox Church next to the Dayton Art Institute. Seniors receive a free ticket for themselves and may purchase one ticket for a non-Stivers student.  Mrs. King and Mrs. Daniels can answer questions about this event.

Senior Pic Nic
The Senior Pic Nic is open to all seniors. The date, time and location will be announced later, but this event usually occurs after one of the commencement practices.  There is no charge for this, just bring a dish to share.  Sign up sheet will be posted in English classes.
