12. What is the Elementary School Senior Parade?
The Senior Parade is a tradition in Spencerport where the seniors parade wearing their cap and gown down the hallways of the elementary school that they attended. From now until June 1st, they can go to Schoology and sign up for the parade that will take place on Friday, June 16, 2023. Students would sign up according to where they attended elementary school in Spencerport. If they did not attend elementary school in our district, they could choose any elementary school they would like. They would then meet at the High School on Friday, June 16, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. where buses will take them to the appropriate school. Elementary students and teachers will be lining the hallways as our students parade through the school. We will have announcements read and posted as the event gets closer.
