Class of 2026 Newsletter

After closely consulting Weather Underground, Weather.com, AccuWeather, and just about every other weather aficionado out there, the picture for tomorrow morning is pretty clear. Between a good amount of overnight rain, a lingering chance of showers right before our ceremony, and a "real feel" of about 45 degrees at 10:00 AM, we have made the decision to move our Graduation Ceremony indoors.

This is never an easy decision, but it’s the right one. Our goal is to make sure this is a comfortable, memorable, and truly special experience for the Class of 2026 and all who are there to celebrate them.

Here are the important details you need to know for tomorrow:

• Location: Indoors at Cape Cod Tech. The ceremony begins tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM sharp.

• Extra Indoor Tickets: Students were given their extra indoor tickets at last night's Senior Banquet. If your student wasn't able to attend, you can pick those tickets up at the school today between now and 3:00 PM. Please note that no tickets will be distributed tomorrow.

• Graduate Arrival: Graduates must arrive by 9:00 AM.

• Doors Open: We will open the doors for ticket collection starting at 9:15 AM.

• Seating: Seating is first-come, first-served, and we will have designated handicapped-accessible seating available.

It is going to be an absolutely amazing, unforgettable ceremony celebrating the incredible Class of 2026. Thank you, as always, for your flexibility, your support, and for being such an important part of this community.

We’ll see you in the morning, it will be greeeeeaaaat!

The weather for Saturday is questionable. (The final decision will be made on Friday morning.) To ensure everyone is prepared, we will distribute 4 extra indoor-only tickets to students at tomorrow's Senior Banquet at 5:15 and Awards Ceremony at 7:00 pm. Please note that if graduation is held outside, these extra tickets will not be accepted at the gate. The original tickets distributed with the graduation gowns remain valid for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies.

If a student is unable to attend the banquet tomorrow, they may pick up their extra tickets in the main office during normal school hours (7:45 AM – 3:30 PM).

Important Ticket Rules:

• Original Tickets: Valid for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies.

• Extra Tickets: Valid for the indoor ceremony only (will not be accepted at the gate if graduation is outside).

To keep things running smoothly, we’ve put together two guides of upcoming senior dates and requirements. Tomorrow is Senior Sign Out Day,the last official day for your soon-to-be-graduate. Please review the schedule below carefully to help your senior stay on track with deadlines for tickets, project presentations, and graduation rehearsals.

Students will receive an invitation to attend with their family if they are receiving a scholarship or toolship. All Seniors are welcome to attend to celebrate with their friends. The awards ceremony is a formal event where we recognize students for their work and dedication. Therefore, we ask that students' dress reflect respect for the ceremony. Recipients should wear business casual attire such as a shirt with a collar and possibly a tie, dress pants, khakis, dresses/skirts, and pantsuits. Sport jackets or suits are not required. Please, no flip-flops.
