Senior Expectations
Welcome to your Senior Year! There are high expectations during your senior year. Senior Activities are on the horizon, and we want to make sure that all seniors understand the expectations for grades, behavior, and attendance during their senior year. Failure to meet these expectations could lead to students not being able to participate in these important events. Unfortunately, every year there are seniors who are not able to participate in Senior Activities or Graduation Ceremonies because of behavior referrals, failing classes, attendance issues, or poor decisions. Senior Activities include but are not limited to Prom, Grad Nite, Farewell Assembly, and Graduation.
We want to make sure that all Seniors understand the expectations for grades, behavior, and attendance during the spring semester. Failure to meet these expectations could lead to students not being able to participate in these important extra events.
PASSING CLASSES
Seniors are expected to have passing grades in all classes at all times in order to maintain Senior Privileges.
On White Card Day, any Senior who has not passed a class and/or does not have enough credits to graduate will be contacted and informed they will not be allowed to participate in Senior Activities or Graduation Ceremonies.
BEHAVIOR REFERRALS
Any senior who commits a suspendable offense or a Code of Conduct offense during the second semester of their senior year may be removed from participating in some or ALL Senior Activities including the Graduation Ceremony. Any senior in an off-site Alternative Education setting during any part of their senior year and not enrolled in CWHS, will not be allowed to attend ANY Senior Activities including the Graduation Ceremony.

Students placed in a site based Alternative Education setting due to disciplinary reasons will not be allowed to attend ANY Senior Activities including the Graduation Ceremony.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes. Truancies, excessive absences, or tardiness could result in loss of Senior Privileges and Senior Activities including Graduation.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDING STUDENTS WHO ARE 18 YEARS OLD
It is important to understand when a student turns 18 years old in the State of California, they are considered an adult. Enrollment at Clovis West High School as an adult is a privilege. Any violation of grades, behavior, and/or attendance may result in a transfer to Adult School which would result in being removed from ALL Senior Activities including the Graduation Ceremony.
*Senior Expectation permission click link was emailed to all senior student emails. Signed and submitted link was due Friday, February 16th, 2024.

Graduation Caps and Gowns
Preparing for Graduation 2024 Caps and Gowns

Your graduation is a time when you will be able to show your appreciation to everyone who has supported you in getting to this special moment in your life. Before the ceremony in June, there are many steps that you will need to complete. Seniors are required to wear a cap and gown for participation in graduation ceremonies. As in the past, Graduate Services will assist you in ordering an appropriate sized gown, as well as in determining whether to voluntarily choose to purchase your tassel and diploma cover as keepsakes.
While graduating seniors may not be required to purchase a tassel and diploma case/cover, they will be given the opportunity to voluntarily choose to purchase such items as mementos and keepsakes from graduation, and as their own personal property. Students that do not choose to purchase a tassel and
diploma case/cover will not be provided with these items. Graduate Services will coordinate the purchase of these items.
Each Senior Class pays the cost of their graduation cap and gown. As an approved fundraiser, the Senior Class solicits voluntary donations of $10.00 to help defray the cost of renting a gown and providing a cap. Payment of said donation is not a condition for a senior’s participation in the graduation ceremony.
The Class of 2024 requests graduates to consider giving a voluntary donation to help offset the costs of your gown and keepsake cap.

Part 1: Purchases from Graduate Services

You may voluntarily choose to purchase your tassel and diploma case/cover from Graduate Services for $31.95, plus tax. (Absent purchase, graduates will not be provided a diploma case/cover and tassel.)
Graduate Services will provide and distribute the appropriate order forms to all seniors for all items you may wish to purchase.

Part 2: Donation to the Class of 2024

Donate to the Class of 2024 to help offset the cost of graduation gown rentals and keepsake cap.
For donation, make Check or Money Order payable to: Clovis Unified School District Clovis West Class of 2024 Please give cash donation directly to the

Graduation
Remember, graduation is certainly an exciting event for the graduates, but more importantly, it is a time for the Governing Board to ceremoniously honor the graduates and teaching staff. At no time should the formality of the Graduation Ceremony be violated. Your behavior is a direct reflection of you, your school, and your family.
The graduation robes signify your class unity. The ceremony is the Governing Board's forum to represent the community honoring the graduates of Clovis West. This is a formal occasion. Therefore, all graduates are expected to behave in a manner that respects the formality of the ceremony.
A student may be removed for any action that draws undue attention to an individual. Fireworks, noise makers, beach balls, frisbees, cell phones or similar inappropriate distractions are strictly forbidden and will be confiscated at the entrance by staff and officers. Throwing hats and other means of disrupting the ceremony will not be allowed.
Remember, it is a privilege, not a right to participate in the Graduation Ceremony.
Clovis West is under no obligation to allow anyone who violates the rules and procedures in the handbook or any other school district policy, to participate in the Graduation ceremony.
Violators will be removed from the ceremony and will receive their diplomas at a later date. The school will determine when during the summer and under what conditions the diploma will ultimately be given.
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, each participant must sign the graduation contract, agreeing to abide by the specific code of dress and behavior for the ceremony. This signed contract must be on file with the school.

Graduation Attire
The Graduation Ceremony presents the Class of 2024 to the parents, faculty, invited guests, and the Clovis West community. The Graduation Ceremony is a celebration of our students’ scholastic achievement.
With this in mind, the following must be adhered to:
Students must wear semi-formal attire/formal attire. This includes suit and tie, slacks with shirt and tie, dresses, dress pants/skirt with blouse, etc.
Students must wear dress shoes. No athletic or tennis shoes, Birkenstocks, sandals, crocks or combat boots. We recommend low heeled shoes.
All dresses/tops must have at least 2” shoulder straps. Long dresses are permitted but must be pinned up, so they do not fall below the hem line of the graduation gown. All clothing must meet CUSD Dress Code regulations.
A collar will accompany graduation gowns for females.
Caps will be worn flat on the head with the point aimed straight ahead.
Tassels will be worn on the left side of the cap.
The only acceptable accessories to the standard cap and gown are the CSF Life Gold Card, National Honor Society Sash, Symbol of Academic Distinction Medallion. Examples of acceptable accessories will be on the CWHS website. “Requests to wear adornment at Graduation” forms due by May 10th, 2024.

All students will be checked by the faculty for proper attire and grooming. Those students in violation will not participate in the graduation ceremony.

Therefore, these three parties enter into this contract. This contract shall be signed, and a copy filed at the school before the student will be issued a cap and gown for the purpose of participating in the graduation ceremony. Furthermore, a student not having a signed copy of this contract on file with the school will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony. If students choose not to participate in the graduation ceremony, they must notify their Counselor and may pick up their diploma in the main office on the day following the graduation ceremony.
Clovis West High School agrees to provide a site and appropriate facilities for the ceremony and to provide the legal and traditional procedures required for such occasions. In addition, Clovis West High School agrees to take those steps deemed necessary to maintain order and dignity at the proceedings up to, and including, exclusion of any student from participation in the activity before or during the event when the exclusion is necessary to maintain proper decorum.
Reasons for denying participation in or receipt of the diploma at the graduation ceremony to an eligible student include, but are not limited to:

Possessing or being under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or other substance which appears to alter a person’s behavior and/or inhibit the person’s judgment. Being in violation of any C.U.S.D. Governing Board policies or California Education Code provisions.
Possessing beach balls, frisbees, noise makers, cell phones, gum, etc., or other items inappropriate to the occasion.

Disruptive behavior, including failure to remain seated at the appropriate times, shouting or exhibiting rude behavior, making lewd or obscene gestures, committing offensive acts, or throwing of caps.
Students agree to dress in a manner which will not be disruptive or divert attention from the ceremony, and shall if requested by an appropriate school official, agree to a visual inspection to insure appropriate dress and an absence of inappropriate items. Caps and gowns shall be without any personal or group adornment, except for District approved cords, tassels and pins. Following the ceremony graduates will receive their diploma at a designated area. In addition to exemplifying behavior appropriate to the activity, parents shall instruct, encourage and demand that their sons and daughters adhere to the letter and spirit of the requirements listed here, and shall pledge to support Clovis West High School in its enforcement of these and other regulations regarding behavior during the graduation ceremony.

In order to obtain the diploma a meeting must be scheduled with the school administration at a later date. In addition, possible consequences may be assigned. The Principal will suspend the graduation ceremony immediately if, in his/her judgment, allowing the ceremony to continue would be dangerous or would not be in the best interest of the graduates, guests, the school, or the District.
