When going across the stage, please smile and continue walking. Any form of misbehavior or any act undignified will cause you to not receive your diploma that day. Guests in the audience: We ask that the audience also show their respect for our graduation, by acting dignified and with class. Please follow the following rules of etiquette for graduation:
· The audience should be seated and quiet throughout the entire ceremony. Please take the time to check that all cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms are OFF to eliminate distractions. This will insure a healthy listening atmosphere for all. · Please avoid entering and leaving the coliseum during the activities. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, move only between changes in speakers or musical pieces. · Feel free to exit the ceremony with small children that may become a distraction for others. It may be best to sit near an aisle and or doorway in case of the need for a speedy exit. · Please show your approval and support for the students and speakers with applause. Whistling, cheering, and/or whooping are considered inappropriate and would interrupt the ceremony for our Graduates. If you are cheering loudly for a long duration for your graduate, you will not be able to hear the name of the next graduate. · Conversations should be avoided. · Noise-making devices, such as air horns, whistles, and other inappropriate distracting devices are not permitted. Items of distraction will be taken up by the coliseum Denton and Lewisville Police on security and the user will be asked to leave. By following these guidelines, parents and guests set the proper example for our graduates and will make the festivities a more enjoyable experience for all. Every parent and family should enjoy the ceremony without a distraction as well as being able to hear their graduate’s name as it is called. Thank you for celebrating with us and supporting the Lewisville High School Graduating Class of 2020.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requires to determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The government conducts a "need analysis" based on financial information, such as income, assets, and other family information, which you (and your parents if you are a dependent student) will be asked to provide. This resource is located at: www.fafsa.ed.gov. A "Student Guide to Financial Aid" detailing types of aid available from the federal government is available at no cost by contacting 1- 800-433-3243, or online at www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov. The FAFSA is the application most colleges use to determine eligibility for federal, state, and college-sponsored financial aid, including grants, educational loans, and work-study programs. All college students are expected to contribute towards their education costs. How much you and your family will be expected to contribute depends on your financial situation - and is what's called your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The FA FSA cannot besubmitted until January 1 of the senior year. However, it is important to start early and be prepared. Financial aid is usually awarded on a "first come first serve" basis. Consequently, early application may result in a more attractive aid package. Keep copies of all completed forms and any correspondence with the financial aid office. Your application is examined by a federal processor and the results are sent by computer to the financial aid offices of the colleges you've chosen. Through the FAFSA website. high school juniors can take advantage of the FAFSA4caster and learn about the financial aid process, gain early awareness of aid eligibility, and much more. See page 51 for more information regarding financial aid. • Students will be able to file FAFSA as early as October 1st each year. The earliers ubmission date will be a permanent change, enablingstudents to complete and subntit a FAFSA as early as October 1 every year. (There is NO CHANGE to the 2016-17 schedule. The FAFSA became available January 1 as in pm�ous years.) • Students will be required to report income infom1ationf rom an earlier 1ax year. SCHOLARSHIPS Some scholarships are based on merit, not financial need. Be sure to complete a scholarship application. For many colleges this must be done in addition to the application for admission. Students may be required to complete a financial needs analysis. If a college awards its own scholarship dollars to students eligible for state or federal funds, the student may not qualify for federal need-based funds. This allows the colleges to make the best use of their scholarship dollars and to serve the greatest number of students. Students should investigate any private sources of financial aid available to them. These may include: -., Parents' employers ...,, Cultural Groups ...,, University Departments ..., Businesses ...,, Foundations ...,, Contests ...- Religious organizations ...,, Banks -.r Fraternal Organizations Criteria which may determine scholarship recipients includes: .., Grade Point Average .., ACT or SAT scores .., Letters of reference ...;, Class rank ...;, Essays ..., Difficulty of HS courses ..,, Activities ..., Interviews ..;, Autobiographical info ..; Leadership ..., Financial Need Lewisville ISO Education Foundation (LEF) Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors to help them in their continuededucational journey.
