This is an exciting time of year for our students and it takes the efforts of many to create our Commencement ceremony. We are putting out a call for volunteers to serve as ushers, help with parking, and support for overflow rooms, as well as others to help set up before and/or clean up after the reception that follows the ceremony on Thursday, June 20th at 8:00 pm.

Ushers are also asked to attend the beginning of the rehearsal on Wednesday, June 19th at 4:00 p.m. The time commitment on Wednesday would be approximately 30 minutes and Thursday would be approximately 3-4 hours. Classified staff will need to get approval from their supervisor to volunteer for the ceremony. Due to the Commencement Ceremony occurring within the work week, staff are encouraged to work with their supervisors to flex their 40 hour work week, e.g. come in late or leave early the Friday after commencement, June 21st. Except those who have prior approval, volunteer time will not be compensated as overtime.

Show your continued support for students by helping them celebrate this special day in their lives. If you are planning to volunteer, please fill out this form.

Those who volunteer will hear back with more details about Commencement day itself. If you have questions, please feel free to email spearce@shoreline.edu.
