Q: Is there a dedicated handicapped seating area and is someone allowed to sit with the handicapped person?
A: Yes, handicapped seating will be on the floor behind the graduates, we have allotted a large area for those in need. Yes, someone who is helping that person is allowed to sit with them. We don't want whole families sitting with them however so that we can have room for all that need that accessibility.Â
Q: Are small seat backs permitted?
A: Yes, small seatbacks or cushions are permitted. No camp chairs/folding chairs will be allowed.
Q: Where is there parking? Should we carpool?
A: Parking will be in the main parking lot at the Fieldhouse, and additional parking has been arranged at the Knights of Columbus and Country Roads Physical Therapy. Definitely carpool so there is parking for all!
Q: Should my graduate drive to the Fieldhouse?
A: No, they should park at the FSHS freshman lot and ride the shuttle bus to the Fieldhouse and back.
Q: Does my toddler or infant need a ticket?
A: No. Think of it like airplane seating/ticketing. If they can fit on a lap, they don't need a ticket. A 6 year old is too large for a lap and will need a ticket. :)
Q: When do I redeem my tickets? Should I share the tickets by screenshot?
A: You will redeem them (actually a ticket taker will do that) at the door! Definitely DO NOT share by screenshot!! Those will not work at the door and you will be turned away!
Attention Polar Bear Seniors: Now that tickets have been released, lets talk about graduation logistics. Seniors are to park at the Fairmont Senior student parking lot to be bussed to the Fieldhouse on Saturday. The shuttle buses will start running at 5:00 pm, and line up at the Fieldhouse will start at 6:00 pm. We have secured extra parking for guests at the Knights of Columbus as well as at Country Roads Physical Therapy in addition to regular parking at the Fieldhouse. Please car pool as much as possible to alleviate some of the traffic and no parking on the grass areas. Doors for guests will open at 6:30 pm with the ceremony starting at 7:00 pm.
That's exactly what awaits FSHS students on our 2028 EF Educational Tour to Japan!
Here's a peek at what's in store: Tour Kyoto's Golden Pavilion & bamboo groves, visit Todaiji Temple in Nara (and meet the famous deer, ride the legendary Shinkansen bullet train, explore Tokyo's vibrant neighborhoods from the ancient Asakusa Kannon Temple to the neon lights of Akihabara Electric Town, and enjoy Sumo-style hot pot dinner.
Why EF? Everything is included — airfare, hotels, meals, guided sightseeing, and a full-time Tour Director — so students travel safely and families have peace of mind.
