If any grads have guest tickets for the ceremony that you can no longer use, please print off the ticket and return it to the Claremont office staff, as early as you can, so they can be made available for someone else.
Dry Grad: Do You Still Want to Sign Up?
If you would still like to purchase a ticket for Dry Grad: bring your Dry Grad clothing to Claremont on the posted dates (see instructions below) and fill out a blank label with the student’s name and contact number. The parent volunteers will have Dry Grad packages available for you to pick up. Forms will need to go home, be filled out with parent/guardian signatures, and payment made (cash/cheque) prior to providing you with a ticket (no exceptions).
