Students are reminded that we will hold a practice for Harvard Commencement Exercises tomorrow, Friday, May 22, 2026 over at the college.

Ushers should meet me in the front foyer at 11:45 (having eaten during First Lunch), with their signed permission slip (which was in the email I sent). Please inform your R5-R7 teachers of your service; additionally, the Registrar, Mr. Lane, has also been informed.

Students do NOT need to dress up for the rehearsal, but must do so for the graduation.

The actual commencement will be Thursday, May 28, 2026, and students must arrive at/to BLS no later than 6:00 am. They’ll be marked Absent Excused for the entirety of the day.

Please email me with any Q’s/concerns at slewis2@bostonpublicschools.org.

Mrs. Lewis-da Ponte
