Greetings Students & Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2025!

This is an exciting time for seniors and families with graduation just around the corner! 

Class Dues

Class dues are an important part of the reason why we are able to have these events and make sure they are funded.  If you are unsure what your student owes then have your student visit Mrs. Castellanos in Room 114.

$25 For Each Year; $100 total for all four years.

This can be paid by cash or check payable to WPS Escrow with "Class Dues Class of 2025" in the memo line.  This can be turned into Mrs. Castellanos in Room 114 or the Main Office.

If you have not yet paid your class dues in full you will need to before attending events such as Senior Prom & Senior Picnic.

Graduation Rehearsals

There are two rehearsals for graduates lasting approximately 1.5 - 2 hours; the first will take place the day before graduation at 2:30 p.m. at WHS.  Students will receive their cap & gowns and any honors cords needed for the ceremony at this first rehearsal and are not distributed before this date.

The second rehearsal will take place the day of graduation at Cove Park/WHS (location is weather dependant) at 1:00 p.m. Rehearsals are mandatory.

Obligations (Outstanding Materials/Balances)

Chromebook Return (dates to be determined) -If chromebooks are not returned, students will be charged for the cost of their chromebook, case & charger ($300).

Book Return (dates to be determined) - Books must be returned to the teachers' classrooms.  If books are not returned students will be charged for the cost of lost materials.

Students who have not returned all materials and/or paid outstanding school debts are not eligible to receive their cap & gown or diplomas until all balances are paid in full.  Please see Mrs. Wood in the Main Office with any questions regarding unpaid balances.

Motorcade (day of graduation)

This year we continue the tradition of the Graduation motorcade for our students & families. The motorcade is a "vehicle parade" that starts at WHS and continues towards the graduation venue. Please note - in case of inclement weather/indoor graduation ceremony there will be NO motorcade.

The Wethersfield Police Department will facilitate the motorcade from Wethersfield High School to Hanmer School parking lot. Students enter via the Wolcott Hill Road entrance at 4:30 p.m. and depart at 5:00 p.m.  All motor vehicle laws will be enforced by WPD including the following:  street legal vehicles only, cannot exceed maximum allowable passengers per vehicle, no sitting in the back of pick-up trucks, etc.  Please be mindful that the WPD rules are there to protect the safety of our graduates & families in advance of their graduation. 

Students will take a left out of WHS and head north on Wolcott Hill Road, then take a right onto Nott Street where they will cross the Silas Deane Highway with police assistance. The motorcade will continue on State Street past Cove Park.  It will continue by taking a right onto Main Street, then a right onto Church Street and finally a right onto Garden Street  ending at the Hanmer School.  Students will park there and walk over to Cove Park and line up on the sidewalk.
