over High School and Regional Career Technical Center Information Update
Wednesday June 8, 2022
Graduation has been Moved to Friday, June 10
Based on the forecast graduation has been moved to Friday, June 10th at 7:00 pm. We will follow all the same plans; we are simply moving graduation forward one day.
Rain Date now being used- Friday, June 10- Graduation
-Students need to be on Dunaway Field at 8 am Friday morning for practice. This usually takes the whole morning. Tickets for handicap parking will be distributed after practice.
-The gates will open at 5:45 pm. Graduates should be in the gymnasium at 6:00 pm to line up.
Students should wear their caps, tassels, gowns, and Dover High School sashes. They should also wear any National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, and World Language Honor Society cords they have earned. Caps should not have three-dimensional decorations and need to be school appropriate.
-We have had some requests for an inordinately large number of guests. As we mentioned in previous communications, the limiting factoring is parking. Please carpool (graduates should drive with family members) and keep the number of guests to a reasonable number. The event is being live streamed for people who want to watch it. The attachment will show where people can park. If you park on Daley Drive, please park on the right-hand side of the road and pull up to the car in front of you so we can get as many cars as possible parked there. Parts of Daley Drive will not allow parking, but parking will be allowed along Daley Drive from Alumni Drive to the Dover Middle School, and from the first entrance of Dover Middle School to the split before Durham Road/Route 108.
-Students must have cleared all obligations to receive their cap and gown. They can check in the Main Office with Ms. Cunio to see if they have any outstanding obligations.
You will find an attachment with further information and a map to help with parking.
We are looking forward to the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2022.

We want to remind students and families that many COVID-19 protocols remain in place even though the masking policy has changed to recommended but optional. Please take note of these items:
1. Students are still expected to self-screen every morning. The screener is attached.
2. Students who display symptoms of COVID-19 still need a negative test to return to school.
3. If your student has allergies, including seasonal allergies, please be sure medical documentation is supplied to the Health Office.
4. Students who return must be masked for days 6 through 10.

School issued laptops and chargers will be collected using the schedule below. All laptops and chargers need to be returned to Room 245.

Athletic Eligibility
All students who want to play a fall sport at Dover High School during the 2022-23 school year are reminded that Quarter 4 grades of this school year are used to determine athletic eligibility for the start of the fall sports season for next school year. It is not the final average for a course.
Student Leadership Opportunity- New Hampshire Legislative Youth Council
As a statutory committee of the New Hampshire legislature, the Council was established by RSA 19k:1 and consists of 19 youth of ages 15-22 from across the state. The Council examines issues of importance to youth, ranging from education, employment, and strategies to increase youth civic engagement to safe environments for youth, substance abuse, and mental health. The Council advises the legislature through meetings with legislators, statements/testimony, and an annual report of policy recommendations.
This is an incredible opportunity that allows students one-on-one interaction with New Hampshire State legislators. Students learn how to engage with the democratic process, advocate for their beliefs, and lead their peers. The Council meets once a month in Concord for two hours.
The Council is accepting applications from May 1st - June 30th. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with your students.
If interested, students can email their application (linked below) to our email address at [email protected].
Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] with any questions.
