Dear Parents/Guardians and Future Graduates:
Part of the “senior experience” for a family as they prepare for graduation is dealing with the many
expenses that arise throughout the year. It can be very costly for you and your child. With this in
mind, here is an overview of what to expect in the months ahead:
Senior Dues
The major expense for ALL graduates is senior dues. Senior dues for your child will be $100.00,
payable as a check or money order made out to IRWIN ALTMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL 172. (No cash).
Please print the student’s name and class in the memo section of the check or money order, place it
in a sealed envelope along with the tear-off below and give it to Ms. Haase, in room 309 before or
during morning homeroom.
Senior dues will be collected from December through February 14th.
The senior dues will cover ONLY the following
1.Graduation caps and gowns for all seniors with commemorative tassels
2. Graduation and year-end medals, certificates , awards and diploma cases
3. Senior T-shirts
