White Bear Lake Area High School Graduation: Friday, June 11, 2021

Seating and Tickets

Conduct at Commencement

The commencement exercises are regarded as a dignified event. Graduates have completed thirteen years of education and their invited guests are coming to observe them receiving their high school diploma for this achievement. Therefore, we encourage all seniors, parents, and guests to participate in these ceremonies in a dignified manner.

Students participating in the commencement ceremony are expected to dress appropriately. Male graduates should wear dress shoes, socks, shirts with ties, and pants. Female graduates should wear low heels, skirts, dresses, or slacks. Corsages and flowers may not be worn or carried. Students are not allowed to alter (-ie- draw, paint, add messages) their cap!

Students and families have traditionally conducted themselves very well but we offer the following reminders:

● Throwing the cap following completion of the graduation ceremony is not an acceptable practice and we solicit your cooperation in eliminating this particular display.
● Friends and parents should not bring whistles, air horns or other noisemakers to the arena because the use of these items distracts from the dignity of the ceremony.
● Any student or guest who brings these items or discredits the commencement ceremony by creating a disturbance will be removed from the arena.

Final Transcripts

Each student is required to complete a Senior Exit Survey, which will ask them about future plans, including to which college(s) they would like their final transcript sent. These transcripts will be sent electronically by the end of June.

Submissions are due by December 20!

Senior Pictures requirements:

• Portraits must be head and shoulder shots only. We will crop images that do not meet this requirement, which can result in a blurry images.
• Images resolution must be at least 300 dpi. Do not save pictures from social media sites: they are not large enough.
• Acceptable file types are .jpg and .png. No other file types can be accepted.
• Photos with animals, large props, etc. distract from the purpose of the student portrait section and will not be used.

Email pictures to wblyearbook@isd624.org.

To minimize the potential for error and to help the staff keep trace of your portraits, follow these guidelines is highly recommended:

• Put your student's full legal name in the subject of the email (or ask your photographer to do so)
• Rename the photo file name with your student's name (ex: McDowell_Suzanne.jpg)

Portraits that do not meet the above requirements will NOT be printed in the book.

Students who do not have a media release form on file will not be printed in the book. These forms are available from the office and online.

The yearbook staff reserves the right to crop/zoom portraits to keep the section consistent.

If your senior does not get his/her portrait taken by a photographer, the yearbook will include his/her Lifetouch photo, if available.  Students without portraits will be listed at the end of the senior section.
