Rose Orders

During the WCA graduation ceremony, seniors will have an opportunity to go into the crowd and give roses to people who helped them on their journey to graduation. This may be family members, staff members, or friends. Most students typically order 10-20 roses, but it varies on each student. Roses will be $1.50. Students do not need to bring the roses to the ceremony. More information on ordering roses will be sent out in the coming weeks.

Senior Breakfast

The day before graduation we have a special breakfast for all seniors and some of their family members. This year we have to limit the number of guests to three to accommodate all of the seniors. Breakfast typically costs $5-10 per person. We will let the seniors know during the senior class meeting the final cost of the breakfast. Seniors bring their graduation cap and gowns to the senior breakfast. They will receive their stoles, honor cords, and other regalia during this breakfast. At the end of the breakfast, seniors change into their cap and gowns and do a final walkthrough the middle school and high school. Then we will meet at the elementary school around 10:15 a.m. for a final send off from some of our youngest Firebirds! Parents are welcome to join us outside for the elementary school event.

Convocation

This is an all-school assembly. Parents are invited to attend but not all seniors will receive an award. Parents will receive an email if their student will be receiving an award.

Windsor Charter Academy Graduation

We are unsure if our original venue (Future Legends) will be completed in time for our graduation so we have decided to move graduation back to our WCA gym. Thanks to creative thinking from our leadership and facilities team, we have figured out how to maximize our space so that each senior can bring eight guests to the ceremony. We will soon communicate the process for graduation tickets, but we are asking that the eight guests arrive together to be ushered to seats together.

Aims Community College Graduation

Students who are also graduating from Aims Community College need to register for the commencement ceremony by visiting the Aims Community College website.
