    Seniors must obtain signatures from the following offices for the Check-Out Sheet: West Nurse, Post Grad Center, Security. These signatures may be obtained at any time during the week.

    If your student has fines printed on their blank check out sheet, or written in by any teacher, materials that can be returned should be. Fines can be paid through PowerSchool using RevTrak. Bookkeeping does not accept cash or checks.  

    Instructions for paying fines through PowerSchool:

      • Login with parent created user name and password
      • Select “PowerSchool” tile

      • Select “Balance” with the coin icon in the left margin. That will lead you to a page that shows fee transactions and a payment button.

    Any student that still has an unpaid fine will NOT be able to enter Senior Check Out. Bookkeeping WILL NOT BE AT SENIOR CHECK OUT. You must pay fines using the above instructions.

    Thursday, May 11, 2023 is the last full day of classes for seniors. Teachers will sign the Check-Out Sheet and record either a pass/fail or letter grade on the Report Card Form. Teachers WILL NOT sign either form before Thursday.

    CONDUCT

    The graduation ceremony is a celebration for graduates and their families. Everyone attending deserves the opportunity to enjoy the ceremony. Excessive cheering and noise for a specific student diminishes the experience for the next graduate, so please hold your applause until the end of each diploma group. In line with District policy and State law, Cherry Creek High School reserves the right to remove any individual from graduation whose behavior or appearance serves to detract from the dignity of the occasion. All graduates and guests are expected to participate in a dignified manner. Any inappropriate behavior during second semester or at this year’s Prom may jeopardize a senior’s participation in the graduation ceremony.

    WEATHER INFORMATION

    In case of rain or other inclement weather at 8am, the ceremony may be postponed or possibly rescheduled. Information regarding the postponement of graduation can be found on the CCHS Website, Facebook or Twitter feed @cchsactivities.  If the weather forces graduation to be rescheduled, the ceremony may be held as late as Saturday. Travel plans should be made with this scenario in mind.
