Graduation School Messenger for families sent via call and Email 6/8/22
Good afternoon Fivay Graduates and families!
This message includes several important reminders for this Saturday’s graduation ceremony for the class of 2022 at the USF Yuengling Center Dome in Tampa.
Enter through the Bull Run Drive entrance.
The arrival time for students is before 8:00 am. Students will need time to check in, get ready, line-up and receive last minute directions. All graduates should report to the corral with gown in hand no later than 8:00am. Enter through the Bull Run Drive entrance.
All guests should arrive by 8:15 am as it takes time to get through parking and security. Please note travel time from Hudson area is 1 hour. Please give yourself plenty of travel time to ensure you are seated by 8:45 am. Be aware that traffic can be heavy. Enter through the Bull Run Drive entrance.
This ceremony is a much-anticipated celebration for all families so we ask that all gusts and graduates be considerate of one another and help us make it a very special day for the entire Falcon Nation. We are hoping to make it extra special to honor our out-going Principal, Jason Joens as he graduates from this chapter of his life after many years of dedicated service with Pasco County Schools.
Reminder for graduates: No items may be brought into the corral except Fivay High school graduation cap, gown, honors or cords. All other items must be left with families or in cars. Please wear shoes that are comfortable. High heeled shoes are not suggested as graduates will walk up steps and cross the stage and will want to do so with ease and comfortably. Upon arrival in the corral graduates will check in according to their last name alphabetically at tables. Guests of graduates will go directly to their seating.
After graduation is complete graduates will return back to corral to quickly collect their diploma or certificate of completion and may choose to meet guest outside the Yuengling center. We suggest making sure graduates and guests make a meet up spot to quickly find one another after the ceremony. All guests and graduates will need to exit the Yuengling center promptly after graduation to allow for the next ceremony to begin immediately Following Fivay.
We appreciate your help in all of these details in honoring our graduates in an extraordinary and elegant fashion as it will no doubt be a cherished memory for families and guest for many years. It is a once in a lifetime moment that is a huge milestone. We look forward to celebrating with our Falcon families as we are extremely proud of each and every Falcon Graduate! If you wish to prepay the $8.00 USF parking fee please see the link provided or go to our website and click on the link in the end of the year Senior Newsletter. If you wish to purchase photo packages from graduation the link will be on the back side of the graduation program and posted on our website and in the Senior end of the year newsletter.

Sincerely,
Robin Hawk, Assistant Principal Fivay High School
