505.07 – Commencement
Students who have met the requirements for graduation will be allowed to participate in the commencement proceedings provided they abide by the proceedings organized by the school district.
A student may request to be excused from graduation activities through a request to his/her high school principal stating his/her reasons. Failure of a student to participate in commencement will not be a reason for withholding the student’s final progress report or diploma certifying the student’s completion of high school.
A student must have been enrolled in the district for at least the last semester of the school year of graduation in order to receive a diploma from the Colfax-Mingo Community School District and in order to participate in commencement. This requirement may be waived by the superintendent in extenuating circumstances.
