15 Things You Need To Know About Point Pleasant Boro Graduation

Information has been released about the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2019 at Point Pleasant Boro High School on Thursday, June 20 at 6:30p.m.

The ceremony will be held on AI Saner Field.

Point Pleasant Boro schools wanted to alert parents to these points:

• The district encourages you to clap and cheer for your son/daughter. However, please do not bring air horns or other noisemakers. They interfere with the spectators' ability to hear the ceremony, especially when names are being announced. Friends and family members should also be advised of this expectation, too.
• In order to protect the turf field, family and friends will not be permitted to greet graduates on the field following the commencement ceremony. Just like last year, families will meet their graduates on the gravel path.
• No tickets are required. If there is inclement weather, the event will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial School gymnasium. Four tickets will be issued to each graduating senior.
• No student will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony unless graduation requirements have been met.
• Those who owe fines or have unfulfilled discipline obligations will not be issued caps and gowns on Wednesday, June 19.
• Students will be checked upon arrival by 5:45 p.m. in the auditorium. Any student improperly dressed will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony.
• Nothing may be placed on the graduation gown or cap and no items may be brought onto the field. They will be confiscated.
• Girls must wear appropriate clothes, such as a dress, pants or a skirt and blouse. No high-heeled shoes are permitted. Boys must wear dress pants. No blue jeans or shorts are permitted. No "flip-flop" type sandals or sneakers may be worn.
