Clear bag policy

Here is what you need to know

Please make sure that your student has checked everything off with their academic counselor so that they are ready to go. That includes ALL components of the High School and Beyond Plan and passing all graduation required classes. Students will not receive their graduation tickets until they are cleared by their counselor.

Please Note: CWU has implemented security policies and procedures that we are required to follow. This is a university requirement, not a high school policy. This year all entrants, including students, will have to pass through a metal detector to enter the arena. Please see the links below for guidance on CWU's Clear Bag Policy and their Prohibited Items list.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to ensure a safe and memorable event! Please share this information with your family and friends that are planning on attending.
