The following information will be sent home with 8th graders today. The 8th graders have received their gowns and tickets. As you know, the size of the graduating class and the number of seats in the auditorium were the factors that determined the number of tickets allotted to each graduate. Tickets for admission to the Robert S. Sheehan Center (Hauser’s auditorium) are white. Please note the additional important ticket information that follows:

* If you were notified that, as a result of the ticket lottery, you were selected to receive an additional ticket for admission to the auditorium, that extra white ticket is included in the envelope you receive (total of four white tickets).

* Graduates who do not receive a fourth white ticket will automatically receive one additional yellow ticket for admission to the live broadcast of graduation that will take place simultaneously in the cafeteria. Please note: The live broadcast will be produced by the school, will be shot with one camera from one angle, and will not be television quality. We are presenting this broadcast as a way to accommodate the families of our large graduating class.

* There are a limited number of yellow tickets remaining for the live broadcast. Distribution of these tickets will be determined by lottery. If you wish to be included in the live broadcast lottery, please e-mail Mr. Wolf at wolfk@district96.org by 2:00 p.m. tomorrow (Friday, May 29). The drawing will take place Friday at 3:00 p.m. If you are selected to receive an additional yellow ticket, you will be notified by email.

* Lost tickets will not be replaced.

The auditorium doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for early seating, which is not assigned.
