SAIL Graduation Policy

In the spring of each school year, SAIL offers a graduation ceremony to its families. This is a special time of celebration. Diplomas are awarded to students from their prospective homeschools during the ceremony.

The SAIL board oversees the ceremony planned by the seniors and parents each year. Planning begins with a senior/family/board meeting in September and continues with occasional meetings through the school year. A graduation fee will be charged to cover graduation expenses (i.e. cap, gown, tassel, and ceremony expenses).

Any student who would like to participate in the graduation ceremony should be taking at least one SAIL class, and he/she should be seventeen by September 30 of the school year in which he/she is graduating. The student must be completing all high school course work (whether that coursework is taken at SAIL, at home, or elsewhere) before the next school year. Students who will be taking high school work the next fall are NOT eligible to participate in the ceremony.

Graduation candidates will participate in fundraising for graduation and a senior activity. This may include working the senior store and any other planned fundraisers.
