We would love our seniors to be featured on the big screen at the Senior Dinner event and at Graduation at Rupp Arena. PLEASE send in pictures of seniors both past and present. We want to include as many people as possible and we prefer group shots. If you send individual photos, we will group with others. We need your pictures by April 16th so don't delay! send your pictures to Khalid Rashad or Isha Joshi.

If you haven’t submitted your decision please complete the form.

Attn All Seniors:

Would you like to become the class of 2021's own Poet Laureate? Would you like to take advantage of a scholarship opportunity while getting to participate in this years’ graduation ceremony? If so, then you need to fill out an application and get those creative juices flowing. The application is linked here. You can also email or see Ms. Reaguer in room 408 with any questions. Be sure to follow the details on the application to qualify! Your Senior English teachers are also a good resource. The deadline is Thursday, April 15th at 3:30 PM.

Wi-Fi Changes

When we return from Spring Break, our wireless infrastructure will have been upgraded. As a result of the change, students will no longer be able to add personal devices to the school's Wi-Fi. Every student should have already checked out a school Chromebook, but for those who haven't the information is located on the Student Technology Help page. Students will not be able to check out a Chromebook without a signed user agreement form located on the page linked above.

Senior Prom

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a senior prom this year, a Masquerade Ball! In order to make this possible we are putting in place several precautions. All attendees will be required to wear masks and have their temperature checked. Prom ticket sales will only be available to Seniors (remote and in person), but they are allowed to bring a guest- guests can be anyone age 20 or under, however if the guest is not a Dunbar student a guest form must be filled out and returned to the front office by April 9th. All Guest forms can be found here and are available outside of room 606 and in the front office. The event will be held outdoors for maximum ventilation and will take place at Dunbar on Saturday May 22nd from 8-11 pm.

Tickets will be $25 per person, $50 per couple and can be purchased with cash or check (no credit/debit will be accepted). Please make checks payable to PLD.

Tickets will be sold outside the main doors of the school from 8:00-8:20 AM and from 3:05-3:30 PM on the following days: Wednesday 3/24, Thursday 3/24, Friday 3/25 and Wednesday 4/7, Thursday 4/8, Friday 4/9.

Remote learners will have to come during any of these times to purchase tickets in person as we cannot accept remote payments.

If the above times are not possible for you please reach out to Mrs. Myers or Mrs. Thurston.
