Seniors, here's your graduation checklist!
- To receive a diploma, graduates must return all school property and pay any outstanding balances prior to graduation, including exam fees, library books, textbooks, athletic uniforms and parking passes. Seniors must return Chromebooks to their academy office and should report any damages.
- Don't lose your files when you graduate! Google Takeout is available for students in grade 12, which allows students to transfer items from their district accounts to personal Google accounts. If a student would like to participate in transferring files, this must be filled out. Due to recent Google changes, as it relates student privacy, this functionality cannot be turned on until the student graduates. We are collecting a list of students now who would like their files transferred so we can be in touch post-graduation.
This provides an overview of how Google Takeout works.
