Please check your lunch balance.  This is part of your fee responsibility.  Do not be caught off guard at graduation practice when Ms. McCullough calls your name because you still have outstanding fees, which include CCP classes and lunch fees. Again, we do not want anyone to miss out on any of the graduation experience because of this.  Check with the lunchroom when you go through the line to see if you have a balance. Outstanding lunch fees will be added to your school fees on May 16th.

Senior Exams

 

 

April 30, 2025

TO THE PARENTS OF THE CLASS OF 2025:

 

The closing of another school year will soon arrive, and with it will come the celebration of graduation. The faculty and staff will join students and parents in honoring the Class of 2025 at the graduation ceremony to be held Sunday, May 25, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Wright State University E J Nutter Center.

 

Wayne High School’s commencement exercise has traditionally possessed the appropriate degree of pomp and circumstance. We intend to make this year’s program one that will be cherished and recalled as a fond memory. The program is being planned with input from senior class officers and cabinet members who have done their best to represent the wishes of the entire senior class. It will be a meaningful ceremony for the graduates and their families and friends. We request appropriate attire for this special occasion. You can assist us in attaining this end if you will kindly reinforce at home the meaning and significance of the commencement activity. Please recall that we will be guests of the Nutter Center and that our students will be expected to conform to standards of acceptable behavior. I believe you can understand why any student appearing to be intoxicated, lacking in personal control, or unwilling to abide by the good manners required for the commencement will not be allowed to take part in the activity. Air horns or other noise makers will be confiscated.  

Although there are many worthwhile activities that are being planned, let us not allow the students to forget that they still have a few weeks of school remaining. Notification of those seniors not meeting graduation requirements will be made by our counselors. 

 

No student owing fees ( of any nature) will be permitted to participate in graduation. Please pay fees to Mrs. McCullough in the Main Office. Mrs. McCullough can also be reached at (937-233-6431 x72131).

 

Also included in the graduation packet is an information sheet for parents, as well as a seating diagram of the arena. From this diagram, you may determine the best vantage point from which to observe your graduate as the diplomas are presented. There is no limit to the number of guests you may invite.

In closing, let me take this opportunity to personally extend my congratulations and best wishes to you, the parents of a graduate. May you take pride in the accomplishments of your child and in the realization that you have played a vital role in the educational process.

Recently, Governor DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin announced the publication of a model policy designed to minimize student use of cell phones during school hours. This model policy prohibits or discourages students from using cell phones or similar electronic communication devices on school property during school hours. Students must keep their cell phones in a secure place such as their locker, a closed backpack, or a storage device provided by the district, whenever cell phone use is prohibited.

Exceptions to the policy include cases when students must use their cell phones for a documented purpose as part of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or for monitoring a health concern.

The Department created the model cell phone policy as part of the requirements of House Bill 250, recently signed into law by Governor DeWine.  H.B. 250 mandates every school district in the state to establish an official policy governing cell phone usage and emphasizes limiting cell phones to the greatest extent possible by July 1, 2025.

We are communicating this information with you now to begin changing the mindset of students and families. Recent research shows that students are more engaged in their learning when they are not tempted by their devices. Far too many students are focused on engaging with peers which often results in various school issues. We want to partner with you to help students use their time wisely and support their intellectual growth. 

School districts have the option to adopt the Department’s model policy or create their own policy, provided it meets all the requirements within H.B. 250. Wayne High School, and Huber Heights City Schools, will be engaging with the school community during the year to gather feedback on this important topic. We will communicate the adopted cell phone policy once finalized. Until then, we ask that students follow their classroom teacher’s expectations regarding cell phone use. 

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
