JUNIOR RING CEREMONY UPDATE (Tues. 5/18 & Wed. 5/19) – TICKETS – Each participant can now have four guests instead of two.  Because of this change,  when guests arrive, we will be checking off a list that has each participant’s name instead of using the electronic tickets from locallevelevents.  Once a student has 4 checks by their name, if any additional guests for that student come, they will have to be turned away.  Please help us avoid this situation by limiting your guests to four!   (*The deadline to sign up for the ceremony was Wednesday, April 28^th.  If a student has not signed up it is too late now.) RING – Students who ordered their ring from Graduate Sales, (Balfour) and have paid for it will receive their ring at the ceremony. Students who did not order their ring from Graduate Sales will need to bring their ring to the main office Monday, 5/10-Friday, 5/14.     The ring should be in a small ring box with a label taped on top with the student’s first and last name clearly printed. The rings will be locked in the safe each night. DRESS – This is a dressy casual event.  Girls can wear either a dress, or a skirt or pants with a top.  Follow the school dress code. (Tops should not be cut too low or the dress/skirt hem should not be too short.)  Boys can wear a suit and tie, or slacks and shirt/tie, sport coat/blazer optional.  No hats. ARRIVAL TIME – Students should arrive at 5:45 to be lined up in the first-floor hallway outside the girl’s gym.  Students should wear a mask the entire time, except when walking across the stage to receive their ring. Please email Pari White at plwhite@caddoschools.org with any questions.

Juniors – If you ordered your class ring from Balfour with Graduate Sales and you did NOT sign up to participate in the ring ceremony, you can pick up your ring TOMORROW in the main office.  You will need a picture ID to get your ring.
