Graduation Tickets

This year, each BDCHS senior will be receiving twelve (12) tickets for the graduation ceremony.  Please keep in mind that graduation is hosted at a venue with capacity limitations and it is important that we ensure seating is equally available to all families.  Additional tickets will not be distributed.  However, if you know of students/families who may not need all 12 tickets, you are welcome to arrange a personal exchange.  Every attendee, including children age 2+, must have a ticket to enter the venue (any child that is under the age of two (2) and will be sitting on a lap for the entirety of the event does not need a ticket). 

 Physical tickets will be distributed on Monday 5/11/26, during all lunches, in the BDCHS media center, along with caps & gowns and yard signs (if ordered).

Senior Dress Code Notes

Jeans: Seniors are allowed to wear jeans on Fridays as a privilege. This privilege may be revoked due to disciplinary action or due to noncompliance of the uniform policy. Jeans shall not have rips, holes, tears, frayed edges, appliques, or images/words. Jeans shall be an appropriate fit, and in keeping with appropriate length for shorts, skorts, and skirts, as mentioned above.

 Approved Class T-Shirt:  This includes the PAC spirit shirt (available on their website) or the senior t-shirt, which will be designed by the senior class and available for purchase around September.  Seniors who have earned a college acceptance may wear the college shirt on spirit days starting semester 2, once the Assistant Principal of Administration has received and reviewed proof of the college acceptance(s).

 Outerwear:  During the school day, non-uniform jackets and outerwear are NOT permitted and must be taken off when entering the building. Only BDCHS school crest outerwear may be worn as an outer garment during school hours. Hooded outerwear is NOT permitted inside the building, even if it has the BDCHS school crest. BDCHS Letterman jackets and PAC Spirit outerwear are approved outerwear options.

Spring Activities Rule

12th Grade Second-Semester Exam Policy:
Only 12th-grade students may exempt exams.

  • Must have an overall 2.0 Grade Point Average.

  • Must have “C” or better in each class during Semester 2.

  • Have no more than 5 absences in Semester 2 per course (must be in attendance for more than half of each period in order to be counted as present).

  • Parents/guardians are expected to notify the school the day of the absence and no more than 48 hours later

  • Have no more than 5 unexcused tardies to homeroom for Semester 2.

  • Have no suspensions for Semester 2.

  • Must be debt free for Semester 2.

  • Must meet these stipulations up to the deadline stipulated each year by the principal or designee. (5/8/26)

You can view real-time attendance and tardy information in your Focus portal. 

If you don't know how to access Focus, please see your PCSD teacher or counselor.  

Important Notes:

  1. Exemption does NOT apply to End of Course Exams or AP Exams.

  2. Seniors in U.S. Government Honors and Economics Honors may exempt their first semester exams in those courses if eligible based upon the senior exam exemption criteria.

  3. The teacher of the course may determine an exam is necessary to determine course mastery.

  4. Students who meet exam exemption requirements may choose to take the exam to boost their semester grade.

  5. If a student meets the exam exemption requirements and chooses to exempt the Semester 2 Exam, the Exam grade will be entered as a duplicate of the Quarter 4 grade. For example, if a student earned a "B" Quarter 3 and a "C" Quarter 4, then the Second-Semester Exam grade would be a "C”.

  6. If a student misses the exam, that student will receive an F for the exam. Make-up exams within the grading period may be permitted due to extenuating circumstances and upon administrative approval.
