- You may toss your caps at the end of the ceremony. Make sure to put your name inside the cap if you intend to do this so you can retrieve it later.
- After the ceremony, the Board and Staff go first. You will follow and go directly back to the baseball field to get your diploma. Please put your diploma in your diploma cover and underneath the plastic protector so it doesn’t fall out and get lost.
- EACH STUDENT HAS TWO DRESS OPTIONS:
- OPTION 1: Nice shirt (tie optional) and dress pants; No shorts
- OPTION 2: Relatively formal dress or a nice shirt with a nice skirt or pants; No Shorts

- You may keep your APS Chromebooks after graduation. On June 18 they will be erased of all APS data and becomes offically yours. If you do not want it, please turn it into Mrs. Samp.
- In order to continue your access to Xello, we need you to do something for us. Please log in to your Xello account and change your email to a personal email. After Graduation your school account will be shut down in the coming weeks. To maintain your access, you'll need to put a personal password into the system. You can find Xello in your Google "waffle" in the top right corner. It is one of the last icons in the menu and is a brown square with the letters XE.
