How to Pay it Forward: Roles for Parents of Different Grades

Not sure what to sign up for? There's an SRV tradition where parents of different grade levels play different roles in Grad Night.

We need help from parents of all grade levels. Many people assume that Grad Night is something only parents of seniors have to think about, but we need everyone. In fact, there's a whole pay-it-forward tradition for all parents.

Senior Parents

Parents of graduating seniors do the heavy lifting by taking on the preparation (planning and building) that starts months prior to the event. If you have a senior, please sign up to help move the sets into the work site, and then later to help design, and finally to move the sets back. The good news is that after all the prep, you get the night of Grad Night itself off to entertain your visiting family.

Howeverrrrr, we would love your help on the night of the event, if you can make it!

Junior Parents

Parents of juniors traditionally take shifts on Grad Night itself. These 3-4 hour shifts include staffing different activities, helping with food, working security or check-in or check-out, and more.

Here's how the “pay-it-forward” tradition works for Grad Night shifts:

JUNIOR PARENTS take the first shifts from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM and/or help take down/clean up after, so they know where everything is for next year.
JUNIOR PARENTS are also encouraged to dip a toe in planning and building, so that they know how everything works for the following year, when Grad Night falls to them to plan.

Freshman & Sophomore Parents

Parents of freshmen and sophomores traditionally take shifts on Grad Night itself. These 3-4 hour shifts include staffing different activities, helping with food, working security or check-in or check-out, and more.

Here's how the “pay-it-forward” tradition works for Grad Night shifts:

FRESHMAN PARENTS stay up the latest. They traditionally take the shifts from 1:30 AM until the end, 5:00 AM.
SOPHOMORE PARENTS traditionally take the shifts from 10:30 PM until 2:00 AM.

That’s how you work your way through the rotation, knowing that when it’s your turn to be a “graduating parent,” your child can enjoy an elaborate and safe celebration while you tend to your out-of-town graduation guests. But that’s the tradition–it’s just a suggestion, and we’ll take any help we can get!
