Letter outlining the Graduation Ceremony for 2020
Parents, there is a group of citizens in town that are having banners created for our seniors and working to have them hung on light posts in the town of Minden and Gardnerville. If you would like your senior to be honored in this way you will need to email your graduates Senior picture to wendy.dunbar23@gmail.com no later than 5/18/2020 and put DHS 2020 Senior in the subject line.
For those Seniors who were unable to get their signs Saturday, Jeanne has placed them outside her office at1320 US 395 in Gardnerville. It is the stand alone building near the Subway on the south end of town and across the highway from Rite Aid!
Caps and gowns will be here in middle May, 3 to 4 weeks away and then we will communicate with the kids the pick up process.
ALL SENIORS! Join the Seniors Google Classroom to receive important information and updates. Use the code: wpijyxh
Graduation: To be determined. We will notify you when a decision has been made.
Attached to this link are the instructions for the returning of materials (books, Chromebooks) and the distribution of items (caps & gowns) planned for next week. Should you have any questions after reviewing this, contact us at 782-5136.
