Grad in a Box
IRONDALE 'GRAD IN A BOX' DISTRIBUTION PLAN
Seniors, congratulations you have made it! The end of the year is upon us and that means it is time to celebrate the end of your high school career and all the exciting opportunities to come! This Thursday (May 21st) and Friday (May 22nd), we will be collecting any school-issued materials (Chromebooks, classroom textbooks, music instruments, parking permits, etc.) and distributing your ‘Grad in a Box’ at Irondale. What is ‘Grad in a Box’? ‘Grad in a Box’ is a collection of important items you will need (including your cap and gown) to be prepared for your virtual commencement ceremony on June 1, 2020.
In order for this to be a safe and efficient process, please read the important information below:
All items school-issued materials needing to be returned to Irondale must be placed in the trunk of your car. Placing items in plastic bags would be greatly appreciated.
Seniors will enter the student parking lot at the south end and drive to the gymnasium drive.
Seniors will remain in their vehicle, pop their trunk, and allow staff to remove any school-issued materials. If you do not have trunk access, you may exit your vehicle to open a rear door for the box to be placed in.
After school-issued materials are collected, Seniors will drive ahead to the ‘Grad in a Box’ station and your box will be placed in the trunk of your car.
Once you have your ‘Grad in a Box’ you will need to leave campus. Students will not be allowed to exit their vehicles to visit with staff or other students, students are unable to gather anywhere on school property.
