WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.310 --> 00:00:07.870 Lynn Herink: All right, everyone, can you see my slide deck? 2 00:00:09.140 --> 00:00:09.770 Maria: Yes. 3 00:00:10.070 --> 00:00:10.980 Lynn Herink: Alright. 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:29.719 Lynn Herink: So welcome to Senior Information Night. We are just so proud of our seniors, and I'm sure as family members, you are both proud, and in some cases, probably racing to help them get across the finish line. We know at the end of May and early June, there's 5 00:00:29.830 --> 00:00:37.900 Lynn Herink: sometimes quite a bit of stress as kids wrap everything up and make sure it's submitted. So, we're with you in spirit, and we're here to support. 6 00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:44.879 Lynn Herink: I like to open and close with this quote. 7 00:00:45.050 --> 00:01:03.930 Lynn Herink: The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you by B.B. King. And it's a good reminder, like, why are we really doing this? Why are we working so hard for something? And it's true that once you have your education, and you've learned something, it's yours forever. And so that can hopefully motivate us to finish strong. 8 00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:15.439 Lynn Herink: Again, my name is Lynn Herring, and I'm the proud principal, and I'm going to have our team introduce themselves, and I just noticed a tickle I'm gonna fix right now. 9 00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:18.300 Lynn Herink: So Kendra, would you go next, please? 10 00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:24.889 Kendra Pratchett: Hi, everybody. Kendra Pratchett, Assistant Principal of Truman, thanks for being here today. 11 00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:31.110 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: Hi, I'm Amontrana Cloy, I'm the College and Career Specialist. 12 00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:36.619 Andrew Fabry: I'm Andrew Fabry, I am the Career Academy School Counselor. 13 00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:43.949 Lana Maxey: Hi, I'm Lana Maxey, and I am the Internet Academy Senior Support. 14 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:56.340 Lynn Herink: Robin Klim is our school counselor for Open Doors and Internet Academy Seniors, and she couldn't be here tonight. But she is our counselor, and probably many of you have already communicated with her. 15 00:01:58.990 --> 00:02:08.290 Lynn Herink: We have a really short agenda. We will review the four graduation requirements, which I'm sure you already know by now, but we're gonna just touch those very quickly. 16 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.929 Lynn Herink: Cap and gown ordering and how to get your cap and gown. 17 00:02:12.350 --> 00:02:15.069 Lynn Herink: Senior events, and then graduation details. 18 00:02:17.530 --> 00:02:24.470 Lynn Herink: All right, there are four non-negotiable graduation requirements in the state of Washington. 19 00:02:26.260 --> 00:02:35.309 Lynn Herink: Students must have 24 credit at the Internet Academy, or all 20 competencies met at Career Academy. And open doors? 20 00:02:35.890 --> 00:02:46.849 Lynn Herink: They must have a graduation pathway, the shortcut for that is state testing, or two years of career and technical education within the same pathway of CTE. 21 00:02:48.060 --> 00:03:01.650 Lynn Herink: They must have completed their high school and beyond plan that has about 13 parts, like uploading a resume, completing the FAFSA and WAFSA, and a variety of other things, and a new program this year called School Link. 22 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:07.499 Lynn Herink: And then they have to have met Washington state history. Those are the four non-negotiables. 23 00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:11.939 Lynn Herink: How do you know? 24 00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:18.540 Lynn Herink: You can look on their transcript. This is available, on Parent View under the Documents tab. 25 00:03:18.770 --> 00:03:29.860 Lynn Herink: and Student View under the Documents tab. You want to go down to the bottom where it has a summary table, and I have a picture here for you. And there's a column that says Credit Earned. 26 00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:33.630 Lynn Herink: Again, if you're at the Internet Academy, that needs to say 24. 27 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:41.090 Lynn Herink: Or, if they haven't earned the last 3, because they're finishing them now, then you should see 21. 28 00:03:41.350 --> 00:03:45.440 Lynn Herink: And knowing that they're in classes right now, and should get their last. 29 00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:46.990 Lynn Herink: 3 credit. 30 00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:51.939 Lynn Herink: High school and beyond plan will say met or not met. 31 00:03:52.410 --> 00:04:08.790 Lynn Herink: Most of them probably say not met, unless they've submitted, but the transcript you're going to see on ParentVue Student View is probably from January, so it probably says not met. You'll need to talk to your senior directly about that, and make sure they've submitted their high school and beyond plan. 32 00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:20.939 Lynn Herink: Washington State History will say met if they did that in middle school, or if they did it last year as a junior. If it says not met, again, talk to your senior. 33 00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:30.490 Lynn Herink: They are enrolled in a course to complete Washington State History and can finish at home. They can finish in a couple hours. They all have access if they've not met it yet. 34 00:04:30.810 --> 00:04:34.200 Lynn Herink: Graduation Pathway Estate Testing, or CTE. 35 00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:40.860 Lynn Herink: So, again, this will say not met or met. That's how you know if they can graduate. 36 00:04:42.260 --> 00:04:49.500 Lynn Herink: Canvas is on there for our Internet Academy families, for checking grades that are current in real time right now in Canvas. 37 00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:58.460 Lynn Herink: And then Career Academy and Open Door Scholars could check Canvas for their Washington State History grade, because that course is completed in Canvas. 38 00:04:58.980 --> 00:05:00.960 Lynn Herink: Team, am I forgetting anything? 39 00:05:07.070 --> 00:05:15.319 Lynn Herink: In addition, if you are a Career Academy or Open Doors scholar or parent, they have a competency-based 40 00:05:15.730 --> 00:05:32.980 Lynn Herink: progress report. And a program we call Google Dashboard. So this is viewable, students know how to get in, parents, we did email a link to this. If you're having, trouble finding that link, we'll resend it to you, no problem. But at the top, it says graduation criteria. 41 00:05:33.150 --> 00:05:38.689 Lynn Herink: And it has the requirements to graduate. So, a scholar must be engaged or empowered. 42 00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:44.619 Lynn Herink: The shortcut is, it must be green. The box must be green. If it's green, they're on track. 43 00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:53.740 Lynn Herink: Okay, High School and Beyond Plan is completed in a new program called SchoolLink. 44 00:05:53.940 --> 00:06:09.380 Lynn Herink: I put a picture in here, it says School Link Staff, because that's what I see on my Launchpad to Learning. Students have this as an icon on their Launchpad to Learning, and seniors are busy working inside of the program, uploading their resume, etc. 45 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:16.489 Lynn Herink: Ms. Chloe is here as our College and Career Specialist, and I want to just bat it to her and see if she'd like to add anything specific. 46 00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:36.509 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: I don't have anything extra to add outside of… there are, this year, I know in the previous slide it said that there were 13 tasks. There are, however, 28 tasks for seniors this year, but some of those tasks are very small, simple things, like… 47 00:06:36.690 --> 00:06:46.179 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: adding your email for your alumni access. And all of those tasks do have to be completed in order for the high school and beyond plan to be marked as met. 48 00:06:47.970 --> 00:07:00.290 Lynn Herink: Thank you for correcting me. So, 28, it went up. But they're little things, and also, they're good things for a senior to have kind of their whole, like, package ready to go, thinking about life after high school. 49 00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:12.299 Lynn Herink: Caps and gowns! Hopefully you've ordered yours already. These arrived to our school from Justin's at random times. 50 00:07:12.630 --> 00:07:19.869 Lynn Herink: So, scholars are already coming to Mr. Fabry, Ms. Klim, Ms. Maxie, and asking, hey, do you have my cap and gown? 51 00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:34.239 Lynn Herink: That's totally fine. Ms. Pratchett's gonna put the counselor emails in the chat box, so you can copy and paste them, and you can email the counselor directly to ask if your cap and gown has arrived. 52 00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:39.159 Lynn Herink: Ms. Maxey or Mr. Fabry, do you want to speak to this? 53 00:07:42.270 --> 00:07:49.920 Lana Maxey: I… yeah, I have several caps and gowns in my office right now, so if you do… if you're wondering if the… 54 00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:53.120 Lana Maxey: Your cap and gown has, been… 55 00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:58.840 Lana Maxey: received at the school, just let… just shoot me an email and I'll let you know if it's ready for pickup. 56 00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:09.499 Andrew Fabry: Yeah, of the people that I'm seeing in here, I think I've either already given it to them, or it hasn't shown up yet. So, yeah, the… I have… 57 00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:16.259 Andrew Fabry: if you… they're still coming, so I will make sure your student gets it as soon as I get it. 58 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:28.960 Lynn Herink: Yes, it's kind of a mystery why Jostin sends them in the order they send them to us, and we get packages almost every day. So, as soon as we get it, though, you can have it. 59 00:08:33.020 --> 00:08:43.570 Lynn Herink: Well, we have many fun senior events planned, and we invite every senior to participate. Your young people are going through such a milestone. 60 00:08:43.630 --> 00:08:53.450 Lynn Herink: Of graduating high school, moving from kind of the protection of the structure of school, out into how they're going to launch adulthood. 61 00:08:53.540 --> 00:08:55.360 Lynn Herink: career. 62 00:08:55.460 --> 00:09:05.400 Lynn Herink: to the military, to college or university, and we want to honor them. It represents so much learning, 13 years of learning. 63 00:09:06.090 --> 00:09:19.590 Lynn Herink: So, on June 3rd, on Zoom, we are going to host an Internet Academy Senior Awards Assembly. I hope you'll mark your calendar if you're a student at the IA, and be in attendance for that. 64 00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:22.070 Lynn Herink: The next day, June 4th. 65 00:09:22.330 --> 00:09:28.489 Lynn Herink: is Senior Signing Day, and this is a really fun event where all seniors across all three schools 66 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:40.020 Lynn Herink: are acknowledged for what they're doing next in their life. We're gonna have a student speaker and an adult speaker. Does anyone want to add or round out the picture of that day? 67 00:09:43.550 --> 00:09:44.170 Kendra Pratchett: I'll just say what I. 68 00:09:44.170 --> 00:10:00.560 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: The banner that you guys see right there is a really fun addition we've added to Truman, and so all of our seniors who come to Senior Signing Day get a chance to work on their handprint and put their handprint in their school color on the banner that hangs in our cafeteria. 69 00:10:00.590 --> 00:10:09.580 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: And so it's really cool and very fun. There is cake and food, and it is… it's a really fun celebration, so we would love for all of the families to attend. 70 00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:17.289 Lynn Herink: Thank you, Amatriana. I thought I heard a second person who wanted to add. 71 00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:30.820 Kendra Pratchett: Yeah, I'll also add, I… what I appreciate about Senior Signing Day is that we celebrate every graduating senior's next step, whatever that is for them, whether or not they're deciding to go right into employment. 72 00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:45.969 Kendra Pratchett: or to, the armed forces, or to, university or community college. So, giving all of them a chance to be acknowledged for the next step of life that they've decided to take is pretty cool. 73 00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:53.889 Kendra Pratchett: And the handprint sign has definitely become a staple to that event. It's nice for them to leave their print on our campus. 74 00:10:56.880 --> 00:11:09.220 Lynn Herink: Yes, we are all invited, so we put it at the end of the school day, 1.30 to 2.30, so, families, we welcome you, and you're most welcome to come and experience the event with your scholar. 75 00:11:11.150 --> 00:11:15.460 Lynn Herink: June 5th is an in-person opportunity for our 76 00:11:15.660 --> 00:11:18.149 Lynn Herink: students at Career Academy and Open Doors. 77 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:27.610 Lynn Herink: To be together with the underclassmen and have a picnic together so our 9th, 10th, and 11th graders can say goodbye to the seniors. 78 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:36.000 Lynn Herink: And, we've got some fun things in the works for the picnic. We had a club who built a yard game. 79 00:11:36.270 --> 00:11:48.809 Lynn Herink: We have other yard games coming, we have a different student who's gonna do a ping pong tournament, and then another surprise, Miss Eliana's helping plan that. Not sure if you want me to share the surprise or wait. 80 00:11:50.380 --> 00:11:52.100 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: Yes, go for it! 81 00:11:52.150 --> 00:11:59.580 Lynn Herink: Yeah, we are gonna have, a Kona flushy ice cream, like, not ice cream, but ice truck, right? Shaved ice. 82 00:12:00.010 --> 00:12:11.650 Lynn Herink: And that'll be, one way we enjoy our time together. We have a sweet treat, and we're doing fun things to say goodbye as part of our picnic. So, really excited to bring that to campus. Should be fun. 83 00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:27.019 Lynn Herink: Then, June 8th is the Grad Walk, and this is super fun. It's when seniors come with their cap and gown, and we walk… have them walk through the halls of Wildwood Elementary School and ECAP Preschool. 84 00:12:27.020 --> 00:12:36.160 Lynn Herink: And the young students are there, cheering them, and looking… literally looking up at them, and admiring them. It's a really, really fun event. 85 00:12:36.170 --> 00:12:45.780 Lynn Herink: Seniors, you're all invited. Please come with your cap and gown, you'll put it on when you get here, and there will be a bus that will take you to Wildwood. 86 00:12:45.800 --> 00:12:49.949 Lynn Herink: And then ECAP is located right here at Truman, so we'll just walk over there. 87 00:12:50.330 --> 00:12:57.759 Lynn Herink: Please check your email for the exact start time. It will be a morning event, but I don't have the exact time yet. 88 00:13:00.630 --> 00:13:13.649 Lynn Herink: Tuesday, June 9th, is a celebration for our Career Academy Open Doors students. It's a traditional breakfast we do, and we do our, Career Academy and Open Doors Awards on that morning as well. 89 00:13:13.830 --> 00:13:21.149 Lynn Herink: But Internet Academy, it's also a required day for you. You just come in at a little bit later, so I'll talk about that next. 90 00:13:21.630 --> 00:13:28.750 Lynn Herink: If you're at Career Academy or Open Doors, please come. It's a beautiful buffet breakfast and fun awards. 91 00:13:28.930 --> 00:13:36.659 Lynn Herink: And then afterwards, we do graduation rehearsal, and this is when you can pick up your required tickets, or tickets that are required to get in. 92 00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:44.679 Lynn Herink: So, after the Senior Breakfast on June 9th, Open Door Scholars will practice graduation from 11 to 11.30. 93 00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:57.930 Lynn Herink: And we practice right in the cafeteria, and we walk you through music playing and instructions about how to prepare to be on stage when you're at graduation. 94 00:13:58.250 --> 00:14:11.610 Lynn Herink: And I just talk you through everything. Come with your questions, we will make sure that you're confident, and you know what to do on graduation day, so that when you leave at 11.30, you can exit, you'll get a small gift. 95 00:14:11.730 --> 00:14:20.679 Lynn Herink: You'll get your 7 tickets, and you'll get your honor cords. So honor cords are given for, being empowered on the competencies. 96 00:14:20.870 --> 00:14:24.359 Lynn Herink: 44 at Internet Academy for your GPA. 97 00:14:24.640 --> 00:14:30.729 Lynn Herink: And for participation in Scholar Advisory to the Superintendent, scholar advisory to the principal. 98 00:14:30.770 --> 00:14:47.449 Lynn Herink: being part of a club, like the Black Student Union, and I think those are the main chords that we give out. There's also a medal for the Seal of Biliteracy, so if you've earned the Seal of Biliteracy for English and another language, then you'll get that at that time as well. 99 00:14:49.330 --> 00:14:58.170 Lynn Herink: We have a little break, and then at noon, Internet Academy and Career Academy scholars will do their graduation rehearsal also in the cafeteria. 100 00:14:58.410 --> 00:15:06.170 Lynn Herink: And same exact thing, like, rehearsal's over, you'll exit, you'll pick up your gift, your tickets, and your honor cord. 101 00:15:07.950 --> 00:15:10.769 Lynn Herink: Team, am I missing anything, or forgetting anything? 102 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.809 Lynn Herink: And then, we get to the big day, graduation. 103 00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:29.500 Lynn Herink: Graduation is Friday, June 12th, at the Performing Arts and Events Center, right here in Federal Way. It's really close to Truman. 104 00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:38.199 Lynn Herink: Career Academy and Internet Academy's graduation starts at 2 p.m. Scholars, you will arrive to the pack at about 1.15. 105 00:15:38.550 --> 00:15:47.129 Lynn Herink: I will give you all of the instructions on a piece of paper when you're at graduation rehearsal, so you don't have to hold it in your head. It will be written down for you. 106 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:56.420 Lynn Herink: And then Federal Way Open Doors will graduate from 4 to 5 p.m. Same thing, I'll have you show up at the PAC at about 3.15. 107 00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:00.109 Lynn Herink: There are 7 tickets per graduate. 108 00:16:00.270 --> 00:16:05.810 Lynn Herink: If you need more, don't worry. Contact the main office, we'll put you on a list. 109 00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:07.100 Lynn Herink: And… 110 00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:24.780 Lynn Herink: there's always enough space, so don't stress. If you've got, grandparents coming in from Spokane, or an uncle flying in from Texas, and he's your 8th person, or your ninth person, please don't stress. Bring your family. 111 00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:41.870 Lynn Herink: We will make sure they get in, and or are in the overflow room, there's an overflow room, and they can watch on a big screen. But honestly, we've never really had to use the overflow room, because we've always had room in the audience. So, it's gonna be a great celebration. 112 00:16:44.350 --> 00:17:00.830 Lynn Herink: The Performing Arts and Entertainment Center has rules, and I want to go over these. Balloons are not allowed. If you try to bring in balloons to the space, they'll ask you to please take those back to your car. And put them in your car. They're just in the way of people's visibility, so you can't bring those in. 113 00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:10.440 Lynn Herink: Please do not bring noisemakers or confetti throwers. Last year, somebody did that, it was scary. Like, the sound was very loud. 114 00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:25.249 Lynn Herink: And in this day and age, none of us need loud sounds in a public space. So, please do not bring those. You can do those things at a party afterwards, you know, wherever you're celebrating at your house or at a park, but not in the pack. 115 00:17:26.560 --> 00:17:39.140 Lynn Herink: And then you will be asked to exit the pack promptly after graduation. There's grace time to take photos, but then we're going to ask that you go, because other graduation ceremonies will follow yours. 116 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:52.570 Lynn Herink: So, just bear that in mind. So, yes, a few photos is wonderful, staff like to come out and congratulate you and take some pictures, but then your celebration and party should be off-site. 117 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.760 Lynn Herink: And elsewhere. 118 00:17:54.650 --> 00:18:01.079 Lynn Herink: So, these are the most important things that we wanted to make sure you know. And, that's it. 119 00:18:01.430 --> 00:18:09.809 Lynn Herink: We love our seniors. We are so proud of them. Everybody has a different story, and some of our kids' stories are really inspiring. 120 00:18:09.910 --> 00:18:14.010 Lynn Herink: They have really worked to get where they're at. We could not be prouder. 121 00:18:14.530 --> 00:18:18.889 Lynn Herink: Are there any questions, from parents or seniors? 122 00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:22.460 Lynn Herink: Anything in the chatbot? 123 00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:31.249 Lynn Herink: Good question. What is the latest we can order a cap and gown? 124 00:18:31.970 --> 00:18:34.530 Lynn Herink: I'm gonna ask my team if anyone knows the answer. 125 00:18:37.490 --> 00:18:41.520 Andrew Fabry: now would be about the time, I would say. 126 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:45.599 Andrew Fabry: Have I seen people order it closer to graduation and it pan out? 127 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.939 Andrew Fabry: Yes. Do I think that was a good idea? Absolutely not. So, if you're… do it now. 128 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:53.720 Lynn Herink: Huh? We've also… 129 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.019 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: I've also seen it not pan out, so… Just… just so you know. 130 00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:03.940 Lynn Herink: Yeah, I would say if you're in doubt, order it now. 131 00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:07.459 Lynn Herink: order it now. It's on the Jostens website, 132 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:13.519 Lynn Herink: And we can… can somebody put the link into the chat box for where to order? 133 00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:16.759 Lynn Herink: This was a parent from Career Academy. 134 00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:21.129 Andrew Fabry: I have the no-frills one ready to go, so I'll… 135 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:22.310 Lynn Herink: Okay. 136 00:19:27.020 --> 00:19:37.909 Lynn Herink: Are there any stipulations for decor on the cap? Great question. Students are encouraged and invited to decorate their cap. It's a beautiful tradition, and… 137 00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:44.640 Lynn Herink: the guidelines are just guidelines you would expect, right? Like, keep it… 138 00:19:45.010 --> 00:19:48.910 Lynn Herink: Public, so not to use anything profane. 139 00:19:49.040 --> 00:19:51.740 Lynn Herink: And celebrate. 140 00:19:52.170 --> 00:19:57.250 Lynn Herink: Celebrate. We see beautiful things. We see glitter, stars, flowers. 141 00:19:57.560 --> 00:20:04.880 Lynn Herink: Inspiring quotes, things representing students' heritage, or home cultures, and… 142 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:14.420 Lynn Herink: As long as it's kept in a spirit of positivity and something that, you know, the public can see without, taking offense, then… 143 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.700 Lynn Herink: We encourage them to express who they are. 144 00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:28.680 Lynn Herink: Are there students who need help getting a cap and gown? I really appreciate this question, and the answer is yes. 145 00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:41.440 Lynn Herink: We always have students in need, and we typically turn to an organization who helps us, and this year they don't have any more funding, so we haven't been able to get their help. 146 00:20:41.770 --> 00:20:45.369 Lynn Herink: And if you are someone who would like to help, 147 00:20:46.520 --> 00:20:49.490 Lynn Herink: please email me. I'll put my email in the chat. 148 00:20:49.750 --> 00:20:52.330 Lynn Herink: And that would be wonderful. 149 00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:59.379 Lynn Herink: How many are needed? Can I, 150 00:20:59.710 --> 00:21:03.309 Lynn Herink: Team answer about how many caps and gowns we may need. 151 00:21:07.110 --> 00:21:11.520 Andrew Fabry: Yeah, I'm not 100% sure. It looks like a Montrana might have an idea. 152 00:21:12.550 --> 00:21:16.030 Omontreunna Cloy - College & Career Specialist: I feel like… 7 or 8 right now. 153 00:21:17.340 --> 00:21:20.429 Kendra Pratchett: Yeah, I was gonna say probably about 10, yeah. 154 00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.400 Andrew Fabry: That'd be safe, yeah. 155 00:21:23.370 --> 00:21:30.279 Lynn Herink: Thank you for asking and thinking of others. Like, we always try to have some on hand from years past. 156 00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:34.900 Lynn Herink: But while that's better than nothing, kids often want their own. 157 00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.310 Lynn Herink: So, thank you very, very much for putting that in the chat box. 158 00:21:39.470 --> 00:21:46.789 Lynn Herink: And then there was a question about, if a student doesn't complete all the requirements to graduate, will there be guidance on next steps? 159 00:21:46.970 --> 00:21:52.090 Lynn Herink: Absolutely, yes, there will be guidance on next steps, and we will, 160 00:21:52.460 --> 00:22:01.779 Lynn Herink: like, the parent who reached out to me, I know who you are, I know who your student is, and we will set up a meeting with you and your student to talk about next steps. 161 00:22:09.790 --> 00:22:12.840 Lynn Herink: Alright, team, well, I think that's everything. 162 00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:18.580 Lynn Herink: And, this team here on the Zoom call stands ready, like. 163 00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:26.350 Lynn Herink: We are so proud of our seniors. It is going to be, the next three and a half weeks are gonna fly by. 164 00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:33.599 Lynn Herink: And we are going to honor and hold them up for their lifelong learning that they've done thus far in their young lives. 165 00:22:33.770 --> 00:22:40.369 Lynn Herink: And launch them into adulthood as best we can. So, thank you so much for being here, everybody. Have a great rest of your night!
