End of Year Events & Graduation Information!
Attention all Seniors and Parents/Guardians:
I wanted to follow up after the Senior Informational Meeting on Monday, and answer a few questions that we received as well as give you a copy of the packet that was handed out.
1. Will we need tickets/reservations for graduation at the Budweiser Event Center? No. Seating is unlimited and you are able to bring as many friends and family members as you wish.
2. What will the seating chart look like? Students will be selecting the teacher who hands them their diploma, and they will NOT be in alphabetical order. At graduation rehearsal, 5/15, we will inform each student what section they are sitting near, so they can relay this message to their families. The program will also have students listed in order, so you know when your child is about to be called.
3. Honor cords will be given at Graduation on 5/21 when students check in at 1:00PM at the event center. This ensures we have an official and correct GPA for student recognition.
4. Please CLICK HERE for the Student/Parent Graduation Information Packet.
5. Do not forget to visit the Website for all Graduation information and survey links.
6. Seniors, if you have not filled out the SURVEY for who will hand you your diploma, please do so now! If you do not fill it out by May 5th, we will select it randomly for you.
Thank you all for your support, and we are looking forward to celebrating this GREAT accomplishment with you! #UKnighted

Do you or someone you know need a SCHOLARSHIP?
Last year, thanks to donor generosity, 150 scholarships were awarded through the Foundation, totaling in excess of $815,000.00
Do you know someone who should apply? Please feel free to send along this message.
The process takes a few hours to complete, but the main application is then used for many of the available scholarships, making the process easier for students. And, special note, we have scholarships available for graduating seniors, current college students, AND non-traditional students.
Here's to the good future of students in Weld seeking higher education!

A Message from Our Parents:
We are so excited to welcome back our amazing Silver Knights staff! We would love to show them our support all throughout the year by providing a variety of snacks in their break room. Please join us in this simple act of appreciation that they will enjoy any time they just need a little something....:)
We have around 85 staff members and the snack sign-up dates are set at every two weeks. Bring however many snacks you feel inclined to share. Partner with a friend or a group if you would like to! Office staff or parent volunteers will re-stock the jars and baskets with any overflow snacks throughout the two weeks as needed.
You may sign up for a date below and bring your snack donations to the SHS front desk on that day. Ideas could include: fresh fruits or veggies, granola bars, individual chip/pretzel/cracker/cookie packs, dried fruit bars or snacks, beef jerky, popcorn packs, mints, gum, seasonal fun treats. Please bring items that are NUT FREE just for ease of everyone's enjoyment. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
