a. This will take you to the Updating Outcomes page
6. Look at the box under the word “Hi” – it will give you a link to “Share Your Plans”

Seniors and Parents of our Senior Class,
Graduation Date: June 6, 2022
Time: 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Location: University of Miami Watsco Center
Here are answers to many of your graduation related questions.....
1. How many tickets does each senior get? We have not been given that count at this point. Once I know I will email you all. The last we were told, it was 2 tickets per senior. If that changes, we will let you know. (those seniors who sold magazines will receive their extra ticket)
2. Cost of graduation tickets? There is no charge for the graduation tickets - each senior will be given their tickets when they receive their cap and gown packet
3. When do you receive your cap & gown? Cap and Gown will be distributed by your Academy Lead teacher and Counselor beginning 2 weeks prior to graduation. Once you are cleared to graduate, meaning you have submitted community service, passed all your classes, paid all your obligations, served all your detentions, etc.... Your counselor and lead will meet with you for your exit interview and give you the cap and gown.
4. Do we keep the cap and gown and all other graduation items? You keep everything with the exception of the gown. You will return the gown and then receive your graduation diploma.
5. What happens if I did not order my cap and gown? At this point you will have to wait until the last 2 weeks of May to get your cap and gown. Seniors who did not order within the time of sales will receive a graduation completion form from your counselor. This form cannot be given until you are cleared to graduate. At that time, you will then take the form to Herff Jones in person and pay for your cap and gown at their main office. You will need to pay a late fee and hope they have your size available. The sooner you are cleared the better! For any questions on being cleared please talk to your counselor.
I hope this helps, I know you all have more questions but for now we do not have any answers except date, location and time. I hope to have more information for you after Spring Break!
One suggestion, take your graduation pictures with your cap and gown as soon as you receive your items. It is an early graduation ceremony and arrival time for seniors will be between 7:30/8:00 am that day, which doesn't give a lot of time to take pictures before the ceremony.
Looking forward to planning the graduation and hoping that I will have answers to all your questions.

The Best Ways to Spend Your Summer to Prepare for College (or Not)
Summer is a few months away, but it’s time to consider how you might spend it. And yes, there are many rewarding ways to spend your summer, and many of them are not stressful.
If you’re feeling ambitious, summer is a great time to boost your application for college, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do so. Consider completing a personal project, or if you’re a senior, learning about what freshman year will be like
But taking time to relax and enjoy yourself is also important—here are a few ways to spend your summer that don’t involve trying to save the world.
One more resource: a podcast episode with an expert on the matter, who answers questions like “Are expensive summer programs worth it?” and “What should students and parents do (but often don’t) when it comes to planning their summer?”
I invite you to follow the Cuda Cap Instagram Page if you haven't done so already @cudacap

BILLS SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE GOVERNOR
· HB 173 Care of Students with Epilepsy or Seizure Disorders, effective date 07/01/2022
PTA supported this bill, which provides for care in the IEP plan, pursuant to our statement addressing comprehensive health services for children.
HB 235 Restraint of Students with Disabilities in Public Schools, effective date 07/01/2022
PTA supported this bill based on our position statement providing that the use of restraint and seclusion practices shall only be used as a last resort.
SB 236 Children with Developmental Delays, effective date 07/01/2022
PTA supported this bill which expanded the eligibility criteria of students qualifying for services, thereby allowing more children to reach their potential.
SB 292 Newborn Screenings, effective date 01/01/2023
PTA supported this bill based on our resolution to promote services for individuals and families to address infant and maternal mortality. The bill provided for an additional screening for congenital cytomegalovirus.
SB 1048 Student Assessments [3x Yearly Progress Monitoring], effective date 07/01/2022
PTA remained neutral and spoke for information only as this bill moved forward since our position statements favor formative testing like progress monitoring but advocate against the high states testing that this bill perpetuates and expands. We likewise advocated for native language testing for EL students based on our position statement to that effect.
SB 1054 Financial Literacy Instruction in Public Schools, effective date 07/01/2022
PTA supported this bill based on a NPTA resolution for an increased emphasis on the teaching of science, mathematics, and technology to assure that all youth acquire the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in a global economy.
HB 1467 K-12 Education [Book banning], effective date 07/01/2022
PTA opposed this bill, which imposes costly and burdensome additional requirements on school districts for the selection and adoption of classroom and media center materials, based on NPTA resolutions addressing libraries & educational materials and inclusive curricula.
HB 1557 Parental Rights in Education [Don’t Say Gay], effective date 07/01/2022
PTA opposed this bill based on NPTA’s Resolution on Recognition of LGBTQ Individuals as a Protected Class, its Position Statement on Family Engagement, its Standard #4 = Speaking Up for Every Child and its Position Statement on Shared Responsibility in Educational Decision-Making. The bill prohibits discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-3 and otherwise as age- or developmentally inappropriate and encourages dissatisfied parents to bring legal action against school districts rather than working cooperatively to iron out differences.
HB 1577 Homeless Youth, effective date 07/01/2022
PTA supported this bill, which provides comprehensive services necessary to guarantee equal educational opportunities for homeless students, based on the FLPTA Resolution to aid in the education of homeless children. This bill establishes liaisons to support youth experiencing homelessness in college and extends the Keys to Independence program to unaccompanied homeless youth.
BILLS SENT TO THE GOVERNOR; pending
BILLS THAT HAVE PASSED BOTH CHAMBERS AND MAY NOW BE SENT TO THE GOVERNOR
HB 7 Individual Freedom [aka the “Stop Woke Act”]
PTA opposed this bill pursuant to National PTA’s position statements on Systemic or Institutional Racism and on Inclusive Curricula in K-12 Education.**See article below.
HB 105 Regulation of Smoking by Counties and Municipalities
PTA supported this bill as it goes to the overall health of a child to restrict smoking within the boundaries of public beaches and public parks.
HB 195 Juvenile Diversion Program Expunction
PTA supported this bill because we believe every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential—even if they make a mistake. This bill provides for certain juvenile arrest records to be legally shielded upon completion of a diversion program.
HB 197 Public Records/Nonjudicial Record of the Arrest of a Minor
PTA supported this bill because we believe every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential—even if they make a mistake. This bill provides for those certain juvenile arrest records to be withheld from public scrutiny upon completion of diversion and expunction.
HB 225 Charter School Charters
PTA was neutral as to this bill in that our position statement on charter schools is mute on the issue of turn-around time for consideration of requests for charter school consolidation or changes in the terms of charter school contracts.
SB 430 Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunities for Military Children
PTA supported this bill pursuant to a NPTA Resolution recommending the adoption and utilization of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children by state and local education agencies.
HB 461 Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program Student Service Requirements
PTA supported this bill based on a NPTA Resolution to promote increased student access to in-state tuition levels, which this bill does by allowing students to count a designated number of paid work hours as community service hours in qualifying for state post-secondary scholarships.
SB 638 Early Childhood Music Education Incentive Pilot Program
PTA supported this bill based on a NPTA statement to support the integration of the arts in school curricula.
SB 722 Education for Student Inmates
PTA supported this bill to improve student inmate education based on NPTA resolutions on High School Graduation, College Preparation and Access and on Career and Technical Education.
SB 758 Education Charter School Authorizers
PTA opposed this bill as it creates a statewide charter school authorizer which runs counter to our position statement supporting school district authority and accountability.
HB 817 Emergency Medical Care and Treatment to Minors Without Parental Consent
PTA was neutral on the bill which authorizes physicians to provide emergency medical care or treatment to a minor without parental consent. Neither FLPTA nor NPTA has a resolution or position statement that addresses this matter.

PTA supported this bill that bill addressed frequency of drills, family reunification, suicide screening, and training for school safety officers consistent with our mission and purpose: to advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare, and safety of children and youth.
SB 1808 Immigration Enforcement
PTA opposed this bill based on our NPTA Position Statement on Rights and Services for Undocumented Children. This bill prohibits local and state governments from contracting with businesses that transport undocumented immigrants, even if those immigrants are children awaiting reunification with family members or with foster parents.
