8th Grade - Graduation Day!

To Our DPM 8th-Grade Parents and Guardians -

Today is the big day! Below are the logistics for graduation later this evening. These slides were shared with the 8th grade students on Friday. Please review them with your student to remind them of what to do throughout the ceremony. Students should arrive at 4:30pm to locate their assigned seats so we can begin on time.

Looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2023 with you all!

Tuesday, May 30, 2023 from 5:00-6:00pm

Lake Forest High School West Campus

300 S. Waukegan Rd, Lake Forest

• Admission: Doors will open at 4:00pm with general admission seating. There are NO tickets and NO limit on the number of guests attending. Guests will enter through the door with the blue awning.
• Photography: VIP will be taking a photo of each graduate as they receive their diploma. Photos will be available for purchase on the VIP website approximately 1-2 weeks after graduation.
  
• Diplomas: The name on each graduate's diploma will match the full name of your student in PowerSchool that was submitted during registration. During the ceremony, the reader will use the student's preferred name.
• Recommended Attire:
• Boys: sport coat, collared shirt with tie, dress slacks, dress shoes
• Girls: semi-formal dress/skirt of appropriate length, or pants suit (tradition is for an all-white outfit, but it is by no means required)

• Can't Make It?: If you know your student will not be attending the graduation ceremony, please email our 7/8 Admin Assistant, Linda Crowe. Students who do not attend the ceremony can pick up their diplomas in the DPM West main office following graduation.

Our APT committee wanted to share some photos from the 8th grade celebration on Friday night. Special thanks to our parent volunteer, Kelly P, for being our event photographer!

Everyone had a great time (including the Lake Forest Police officers that had some fun in the photo booth, too)!

Have a fantastic summer,

The Class of 2023 Committee

This is a reminder that all iPad repair fees need to be paid for a successful 8th grade graduation. Emails have been sent from donotreply67@lfschools.net with any outstanding fees. Please follow the instructions in that email to pay for your student's outstanding charges.

All books were due to the Cube/Haskins last week. There are still many students with books out. We have been emailing students and handing out paper overdue notices.

If students cannot find a book, please send a check made out to Lake Forest SD67 and bring it to the library.

If you have any questions, please contact DPME Librarian Patti Fleser (pfleser@lfschools.net 847-604-7433) or DPMW Librarian Ben Beard (bbeard@lfschools.net 847- 615 - 4455)

As a reminder, all school-owned instruments should have been returned to the Band, Orchestra, and Chorus (BOC) department by May 19th. If you have not yet, please drop off your instrument at the DPMW main office.
