To provide a fun and safe way for our seniors to celebrate the ending of their high school career with their friends, the PTSA is putting on an epic, time-honored Grad Night party! Details are top secret, but we can share that after the graduation ceremony on graduation night, they will be in good hands as they’re whisked away on chartered buses to surprise destinations filled with fun activities, entertainment, catered food, non-alcoholic drinks, and fantastic prizes. Security and chaperones will keep everyone safe. Pickup will be at school around 5am.

Time: After graduation until around 5am. Note busses cannot be delayed for anyone. Parents, please pick up your senior so that they are not driving home after being up all night. It is a safety issue; they will be exhausted. If you can’t, perhaps arrange a carpool with another family. Keys are not allowed to be brought to the party.
Cars at University of Washington: Students/Parents are responsible for transportation to graduation ceremony (UW) and ensuring no vehicle left at UW since student will need to be picked up at Sammamish High School parking lot next day.
Check In: Students will be able to take pictures with their family, change into comfy clothes, and check in at the graduation venue. Once checked in, the student must stay in the check in area.
Where: Transportation by charter bus to secret locations from the University of Washington.
Graduation Party Bus Sign Ups. Sign-ups started March 14, 2023. Form is sent once ticket is purchased. Bus Lists are updated weekly on site at school.
What to wear: Something that you will be comfortable being active in, including socks and comfortable shoes (we recommend tennis shoes). We will not be outside, so no need for a jacket.
Cell Phones: We are allowing cell phones to be brought, however, it is the student’s responsibility to keep it safe and with them. We will not delay bus for a lost cell phone (or any other personal items).
What to bring: Do not bring anything. (Unless arrangements have been made for medical reasons.) We will have menstrual supplies available. Please don’t bring wallets, money, purses, keys, jackets, backpacks, etc. We will check them in, which will slow down the check in line, and you will not have access to them all night. At check in, seniors will have to empty their pockets.
Comfort Items: On the medical form, there is a section to identify if any items need to be brought (i.e. headphones, fidget, etc). It is the student’s responsibility to keep it safe and with them. We will not delay bus for a lost items.
What else NOT to bring: Tobacco products, vape, drugs, alcohol. Medications are only allowed if submitted on waiver form and we have coordinated with you in advance.
Food and Drink: There will be food and beverages provided during the party.
Bathrooms: Gender neutral restrooms will be available at all graduation night party venues.
Leaving the Party: understand that students cannot leave the graduation night party once checked in unless there is a medical exemption on file and then can only be released to the parents/guardians listed on the medical exemption.
Parents: If there is an emergency and you need to communicate with your senior at the party, there will be a phone number provided. Please only use this number if it is a true emergency.
