Please see invitation attached to this email. We look forward to welcoming you, and celebrating this incredible class! The email below includes important information for students graduating this year, and as well as for their guests who will attend our graduation ceremony.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Grad Costs</strong></b></u><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> KSS recognizes the importance of equity of access to all school events. In lieu of a mandatory fee, we are requesting a contribution to our grad fund. This optional payment will go towards covering the cost of the SLC gym rental, keepsake graduation caps as well as grad gown rentals. We request a contribution of $25.00 per graduating student, however families can donate more, or less as they wish. Payments can be made through School Day or by cash at ceremony registration (details below). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ceremony Registration: Wednesday, June 24th </strong></b></u><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Ceremony Registration will take place in the KSS Library on</span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Wednesday, June 24th from 9am-12pm.</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Registration will include the following: </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Caps and Gowns: </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students will pick up their graduation cap and gown during ceremony registration. We encourage all families to take photos of your graduate prior to the ceremony. Grad gowns will be returned promptly after the ceremony, so there will not be time for photos with them after the ceremony is over. The 2026 Graduation caps are yours to keep! </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Tickets: </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are fortunate to have a large venue and so we are able to offer each graduate up to 5 tickets for graduation this year, and every guest must have a ticket to enter St. Lawrence College. Graduates should know how many tickets are needed when they arrive to pick up tickets at ceremony registration on June 24 and have filled their approximate number in the grad form prior to that. If accessible seating is needed, please let us know via the form or at registration. There is no cost per ticket. If you think that you will need more than 5 tickets, please come to Student Services to let us know as there may be a limited number of additional seats for which we will be keeping a waitlist.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Grad Fund Payment</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Students who have not paid through School Day can bring cash or cheque to registration (recommended contribution is $25 per graduate as stated above). </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Textbook Return </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please return any outstanding library books, textbooks or other items that belong to KSS when you come to graduation registration on June 24th. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><u><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Arriving at Graduation on June 25th</strong></b></u></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">When you arrive to the St. Lawrence College, please park in the front main parking lot and enter through the main entrance. We will have staff available to direct you down to the gym. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><u><i><b><strong class="editor-text-bold editor-text-italic editor-text-underline" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Graduating students should arrive between 3:30pm and 3:45pm</strong></b></i></u><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.

That said, we will have a staff member taking photos of each graduate at the side of the stage after they graduate. A link to these photos will be sent to students within a week of graduation. *Please let us know if you do not want your graduate's photo included in the shared file. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> We are looking forward to celebrating this phenomenal group of students!

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone District School Board (LDSB) Education Centre, along with schools across the district, is recognizing Pride Month in the KFL&A region by flying the Progress Pride Flag for the remainder of the school year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Government of Canada notes that the manner in which the Canadian flag is displayed is not governed by legislation. The guidelines provided are not mandatory for individuals or organizations but are intended to offer general direction.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">After consultation and clarification from Heritage Canada and communication with trustees, LDSB schools with only one flagpole will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag for the balance of this school year. Limestone’s goal will be to increase the number of schools with more than one flagpole and/or the addition of yardarms to existing flagpoles to display more than the Canadian flag. Until this goal is achieved, we will fly the Progress Pride flag under the Canadian flag at sites with only one flagpole.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Displaying the Progress Pride Flag is a way for LDSB to show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This recognition does not diminish our respect for Canada’s national flag; rather, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that all students, staff, and families feel welcomed, valued, and respected in Limestone schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Flying the Progress Pride Flag is one example of how LDSB demonstrates its inclusive culture. As a publicly funded school board, we have both a legal and moral responsibility to create learning environments where everyone can see themselves reflected and feel a sense of belonging.</span></p>
