GRADUATION 2026
A REMINDER: All communication regarding Graduation Information will be sent via email to students' SD70 email addresses
ADSS Grad Photography
Dates: November 24th - 28th, 2025
If you don’t plan to order graduation photos, you will still need to book a free yearbook photo appointment. When booking, select the “Deluxe Package” and skip the payment option. At your appointment, let the photographer know you’re only taking a yearbook photo.
If you want photos but you’re unsure about ordering photos at this time, you can still have your 20 minute session and decide later. You will just have to pay the $30 fee afterward to access all your photos and place an order if you wish.
The sessions will be 20 minutes, and there will be formal cap/gown photos as well as casual photos. (ex. Jeans/T-shirt, Sports uniform, etc.)
It’s highly suggested that Grads bring a dress shirt and tie or a V-neck or scoop neck top for formal photos. Unfortunately, we will not have shirts and ties for graduates to use.
The use of props provided by Lifetouch (roses, diploma scroll) is voluntary, they have implemented safety protocols for sanitizing props or will provide one time use props for each sitting.
Graduates may also bring appropriate props to be included in their sitting. (ex. football, musical instrument, etc.).
There is a sitting fee that can be paid in advance
or at the time of your photo appointment
Please note, there is no 8-digit code, students/parents can search by
School Postal Code – V9Y 0B1
GRADUATION INFORMATION

Students will need to be in an academic position to graduate, have good standing attendance, and have no outstanding fees or books (textbooks, library books, English department books, Band equipment, etc.).
Students and Parents will receive an email from ADSS notifying them that they are on the selection list and will have an online form to complete. Please resubmit the form if you made an error.

Requests for Ceremony tickets
Students will be guaranteed 6 tickets for their Ceremony. The school will try to accommodate reasonable requests for tickets above this number. You will be able to request additional tickets in the form (link) that you fill out to book your Ceremony Day. We will not be able to confirm the extra ticket request until mid-June. When students pick up their cap and gown, the tickets (including extra ones) will be with the cap and gown pick-up.
Each ceremony will be streamed live on the ADSS YouTube channel.
