CAP DECORATING GUIDELINES

Bravo MMHS Cap Decorating Guidelines 2023

Class of 2023, you will be able to decorate your caps for graduation. This tradition began with Class of 2021 and we hope to continue this for future classes. But that will depend on your responsibility in following the guidelines. Please take into consideration the following rules when decorating your graduation cap. Failure to follow these rules will result in your cap being confiscated and you not having one for commencement.

RULES:

  • No offensive language or images of any kind: including but not limited to any of these items that are not appropriate for a school event: racial slurs, drugs or controlled substances, tobacco, alcohol, weapons, gangs, of a sexually explicit, discriminatory or derogatory nature. 

  • Objects on cap must not exceed 1 inch above the cap

  • Your cap CANNOT make noise or be distracting. No bells, horns, or anything that makes noise, no lights.

  • REMEMBER, you will be WEARING the cap for 2-3 hours. Do not add so many items that it is no longer wearable.

It is appropriate to put the following on your cap.  

  • Thank a parent, grandparent, teacher, guardian

  • Recognize your post-secondary plans (college, trade school, military) 

  • Recognize your high school activities (ex. sports, clubs, co-curricular activities) 

  • Your graduation year 

  • Include an inspirational message 

  • Leave it blank. Decoration of your graduation cap is optional. 

Students, we highly suggest you trace your cap onto cardboard and decorate the cardboard. In case you make a mistake you can start over with a new piece of cardboard. After you decorate it, stick it to your cap with double-sided tape or Velcro stickers. Velcro tape can be purchased at any fabric store, Target, Wal-Mart and throughout many CVS and Walgreens stores. We will not furnish new caps if you mess yours up decorating.

Administration will reserve the right to disallow and remove anything that is not considered appropriate for the commencement ceremony.

Class of 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

Class of 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

In order to be eligible for all Senior Activities, all members of Class of 2023 & their parent/guardian must sign the MOU. The MOU is a contract that identifies the expectations for you for Senior year. Here is what the MOU says:

As a member of the class of 2023, I am receiving this Memorandum of Understanding so that I am fully aware of my responsibilities as a senior at Bravo.

I must have 150 completed and recorded credits by the first day of fall semester and 180 completed and recorded credits by the first day of spring semester to be considered a senior. In addition, I must complete the Service Learning requirements by the first day of spring semester. I must complete 20 hours of Community Service by the first day of spring semester.

I alone am responsible for my behavior and I understand that I am to obey all school and district rules during my senior year. My status as a senior does not allow me to ignore rules, regulations, or laws.  I further understand that as a senior, I may potentially participate in many activities, which are a privilege of my class, but my participation in these activities is not guaranteed.  My academic habits and courteous behavior will either earn or prevent my participation.

I understand that if I choose not to obey school rules or laws, I may lose the privilege of participation in any or all senior activities.

The following are examples of student expectations that include, but are not limited to:
NO more than 7 (full day), excused, unexcused, truant, absences per school year (to align ourselves with the Districts goal of 97% in seat attendance)
NO more than 6 truancies recorded on attendance record per school year
NO more than 10 class period tardies recorded per semester
NO violation of the cheating policy
NO defiance of school staff in any capacity
NO financial or textbook delinquencies
Additionally, defiance of dress code and electronics polices could also result in nonparticipation in senior activities and graduation.

The following are examples of some of the activities that are a privilege to members of the class of 2023 and are not necessarily guaranteed by your senior status:
Early yearbook distribution
Attendance at special senior meetings or assemblies
Theme dances (i.e., Last Dance, Winter Formal)
Permission to park in the parking structure
Membership on class committees
Class officer status
Senior awards and banquet
Applying for Prom Court
Attendance at the Prom
Participation in Prom Court
Auditioning for graduation speeches
Graduation on stage with the class

The link to the MOU is also posted in the Resource Folder in Class of 2023 in Schoology.
