The Class of 2030 will celebrate their momentous six years at Puesta del Sol with a graduation ceremony on June 16th. The Ceremony will begin promptly at 5:30pm with time for mingling immediately following around 8pm. Please see below for deadlines and FAQ's.
RSVPs NEEDED: CLASS OF 2030 GRADUATION
RSVP Deadline for Tickets and Parking Passes: Monday, June 12th.
Fifth Grade Graduation will be held at 5:30 pm on Friday, June 16th.
Each student will be allocated a total of 7 tickets. This is many more than have been allocated in the past when graduation was at our old gym (then it was 2!), so we are thankful for the bigger space.
FAQs:
Q: How do I reserve my tickets?
A: Our RSVP link is live and available until June 12. You will need to create a (free) PTA account to RSVP if you do not have one: https://puestadelsolpta.org/Packet/graduationtix
Q: Are there any extra tickets available?
A. If a student has tickets that will be unused, those tickets can be given to other families. Often families will post on grade-level Facebook pages or ask friends for spare tickets. The tickets must be registered under the original student’s name. We cannot offer more tickets to any one student, per space issues in the auditorium.
Q: Where should I park for graduation?
A: We will be issuing parking passes for campus for the night of graduation (details to follow). We will have room for one car per student household on the school campus. If a student has two households needing a parking pass, please let us know before June 12 and we will try to accommodate this request. While we will do our best to have reserved spots, available parking spaces cannot be guaranteed.
