Graduates Tossing Caps

Dear Parents / Guardians of Graduating Seniors:

I am pleased to announce that the commencement ceremony date for Joel Barlow High School’s Class of 2024 has been set for Monday, June 17, at 6:00 pm at Joel Barlow High School’s stadium.  In the event of rain,  the ceremony will be held on Tuesday, June 18, at 6:00 pm. The ceremony will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the academic and personal accomplishments of a special group of students, all of whom have contributed significantly to the success of their class and school.  

Each graduating student will receive 10 tickets: four of the tickets will provide access to seating on the turf and the remaining tickets can be used for bleacher seating and/or standing room only outside the track fenceline. All seats will be on a first come first serve basis and will be required for all attendees.   Graduates will also receive three parking passes and all vehicles will need a parking pass displayed on their vehicles, including student vehicles.  

Additional information about end-of-year activities, graduation rehearsals and the ceremony itself will be shared as June approaches.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Karen Bender (kbender@er9.org).  

Mario J. Almeida, Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Head of School
