Hello, seniors and senior families! What an exciting year you have ahead of you—filled with some of our favorite traditions and celebrations. Oh, and of course, college! We know it’s a lot and can feel overwhelming at times, so we created this page to help you access what you need this season. Details and emails will be linked when they become available.
A quick note about dress code: Beaver does not have a dress code, and we do not share dress code requirements or suggestions for events. How students dress for any Beaver event is a family decision.
