CAP & GOWN:

Jostens is our vendor for caps and gowns, tassels, announcements, and many other senior and graduation items. If you have not ordered your cap & gown yet, there is still time to do so online. Jostens offers payment plans for those who need to spread out the cost. Items must be paid in full before they will be delivered to you.

**If your family is experiencing financial hardship, please contact Mrs. Mitchell (susan.mitchell@rentonschools.us). We do have a limited number of gowns available for loan**.

• Pro Tip: Unpack and hang your gown and stole a week before graduation. This will help take out the wrinkles. You may also lightly steam/iron the gown on low heat if needed. DO NOT iron the stole – the printing will be ruined.
