GRAD NOTES

Grad Notes are Due by May 8th


What are Grad Notes?

Grad Notes are a sentimental tradition for graduating seniors at Los Gatos High School. They are handwritten, personal messages of support written by family, friends, or anyone who has positively influenced your student throughout the years. These notes are an opportunity for people who have impacted graduating seniors' lives to give them words of wisdom, a fun memory, or a thoughtful message.

When do Graduates receive Grad Notes?
Graduates receive Grad Notes in Grad Bags at the end of the graduation rehearsal on June 5th.

Grad Note Instructions:

  • Grad Note template is an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and will provide 3 individual notes when cut. The individual note will be folded so the Wildcat Forever is the front cover. Written wishes should be inside the note and could include the backside.
  • Ensure each Grad Note has your graduate's first and last name written as noted on the template.
  • We recommend printing on bright white paper and set printer at 100%, not "scale to fit".
  • The Grad Bags are small so please limit the messages on the Grad Notes to the space provided. Grad Note should be folded in half so please keep that in mind if photos are attached.
  • Place all completed Grad Notes secured in a sealed envelope or ziploc bag with the student's name in the labeled depository box at one of the four drop off locations. Do not staple them together.
  • Parents or guardians should complete a minimum of 3 Grad Notes for their senior. Drop Grad Notes off at one of our designated boxes on the porch at one of our locations by May 8th. Please do not mail Grad Notes.
  • PLEASE, DO NOT ASK TEACHERS OR LGHS STAFF TO PARTICIPATE IN WRITING GRAD NOTES. Teachers and staff have a lot on their plates at the end of the school year, and we'd like to support them by not adding more. Please respect this request from LGHS Leadership.
