Senior Bulletin #1
Senior Bulletin #1
Dear Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2025:
It’s hard to believe it was three years ago that your child began the intermediate school experience at I.S. 72. This June, we will have approximately 550 students graduate and go on to high school. Our graduation ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. and will be held at Wagner College, 1 Campus Rd, Staten Island, NY 10301, in the gymnasium.
There are certain expenses incurred by the graduating class that cannot be covered by the school. It is customary that these expenses are the responsibility of the graduates and their families. We are therefore informing you that senior dues this year will be $105.00 per graduate. Listed below you will find the items covered by senior dues:
- Rental of Wagner College facilities
- Diploma and diploma case
- Graduation cap and gown (to be kept by graduate)
- The Class of 2024 yearbook (hardcover edition with color pages)
- Senior class t-shirt
- Senior digital video download
- 2 guest tickets per student to attend the graduation ceremony (the graduate does not need a ticket)
We ask that all payments for senior dues are made via Operoo. If you have any issues with Operoo, please contact our Parent Coordinator, Stephanie Montanez, for assistance (SMontanez2@schools.nyc.gov). NO CASH PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Payments will be accepted from January 6, 2025 through May 9, 2025. If you have any questions regarding the dues, or may be experiencing a hardship with payment, please feel free to email DMovsesian@schools.nyc.gov for guidance.
As senior events are a privilege and not a right, please be aware that any 8th grade student who does not abide by the Department Of Education Discipline Code may be excluded from the graduation ceremony and/or other senior activities so long as the parents/guardians have been notified in advance. This notice will serve that purpose. The senior dance and senior trip are by invitation only, and there will be a separate cost for both. These events are intended to celebrate those students who have worked hard and maintain our core values of being #BulldogSTRONG in the I.S. 72 community on a daily basis. Invitations for the senior dance and/or senior trip will not be issued until senior dues are paid. Invitations will be sent via Operoo.
Due to the large number of graduates this year, extra ticket requests should be emailed to Ms. Movsesian. If you are granted an extra ticket it will be confirmed via email and packaged with your tickets come distribution in June. Tickets will be granted on a first come, first served basis. If you are bringing a child or baby that can fit on your lap, a ticket will not be required for the child. No strollers are allowed into the gymnasium for the ceremony. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
