Caps & Gowns Ordering
Some of our senior students have been asking about how they go about ordering caps and gowns. We have been able to get information from you either through you coming in to our meetings or phone calls from Mrs. Bye.
Herff-Jones will be sending an email to the students sometime this week. They work directly through the students via email or text based on the information we collected. The email will provide a link to their store for ordering. Always check your SPAM if they didn’t receive anything. It could be in there.
Cap and Gowns are always delivered to school. He makes deliveries a few times before graduation. An email to the students will be sent when their cap and gowns are in. Other items are usually mailed directly to their home.
If you want more information please contact Mrs. Roof at Chesterton High School - 219-983-3730 or croof@duneland.k12.in.us
A little information about Herff-Jones and ordering:
- Your senior should have filled out a measurement card for Herff-Jones back in September. We conducted a senior meeting at school. This info. was put into their database so when the cap and gown order is placed / paid for, they have accurate Height / Weight information.
- Once you order your cap / gown, they will be delivered to SCHOOL throughout the Semester. Your student will be notified via school email or school announcements when those days are.
- All other products such as announcements, apparel, etc will be delivered to your home.
- Herff-Jones, Mr. Blumenthal and Mrs. Roof at CHS and Mr. Zeck with TVA will communicate with your students about everything concerning graduation via email and school announcements. Please tell you students to continue to monitor their emails (and spam folders) especially closer to March.
- Seniors will have a mandatory graduation meeting in April (TBA)
- If your student already has a cap and gown from an older sibling and Only needs a tassel, you can contact Herff-Jones at 574-583-3420 or email them at: office@kingsley-inc.com. They are wonderful to work with!
- Finding the cap/gown/tassel option on their website can be confusing. If you go into: "cap and gowns" "Shop grad products" and "continue shopping" through 4 pages you will find it in "Keepsakes". Cap/gown/tassel only is $37 +taxes.
- If you have any problems you can contact me or Herff-Jones for guidance.
