Graduation Expectations March in with dignity – no running, skipping, carrying partner, etc. Don’t do anything that will bring undo attention to you instead of the graduating class. Dress appropriately. Shorts, sunglasses, flip-flops/beach shoes, sneakers are not acceptable. Graduation hats and gowns only – glitter, decorations, personalized messages will not be allowed. Any request for modifications for religious or cultural reasons need to be made, in writing, to the principal. Bags, purses, cell phones, other electronic devices need to be locked in cars or kept in stands with parents. Silly string/string confetti permanently stains the pavilion tarp and will not be allowed. St. Martin’s will charge individuals for damage. Throwing caps is part of the ceremony. Do not throw too high or too far, as they can hurt people, and you will want to keep it as a memento.
