(Since children in this age group grow and change quickly, it should not be too far in advance.) Make sure you have plenty of time that day and a helper to measure each student. NOTE: Don\u2019t forget to inform the parents of this day. They will need to prepare their child with the proper attire they need to wear on that date (i.e., proper shoes).<\/p>\n<h3><u>Step 2: Gather materials for measuring day<\/u>.<\/h3>\n<p>Download and print our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/size-chart\">Size Chart<\/a>\u00a0and secure it to a wall. It\u2019s an easy alternative to measuring tapes, and seeing the chart on the wall will get your kids excited to be measured.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/-\/media\/rhymeuniversity\/others\/gown-worksheet.ashx\">Graduation Gown\u00a0Worksheet<\/a> to keep track of each student\u2019s height and gown size.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/~\/media\/rhymeuniversity\/others\/size-chart.ashx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rhyme_ChildWallSizeChart-300x300.gif\" alt=\"RhymeU_ChildWallSizeChart\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rhyme_ChildWallSizeChart-300x300.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Rhyme_ChildWallSizeChart-150x150.gif 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><u>Step 3: Measure your graduates<\/u>.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Before you start measuring, make sure every child is wearing shoes that are similar to what he or she will wear on graduation day.<\/li>\n<li>Have each student stand straight and measure him or her from head to floor. Note their height on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/formsworksheets\">Graduation Gown Worksheet<\/a>\u00a0(make sure you are measuring in feet and inches).<\/li>\n<li>NOTE: If you are ordering 6 months or more prior to graduation, add\u00a01\/2&#8243;\u00a0to 1&#8243; to each child\u2019s present height to allow for growth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><u>Step 4: Ordering and receiving graduation gowns<\/u>.<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have every student\u2019s height and gown size at the ready, place your order with Rhyme University.

NOTE: Be sure to specify your distribution date when you order to receive your gowns in plenty of time.<\/p>\n<p>After you have received your gowns, distribute them to parents, and make sure to have each child try on their gown to ensure a correct fit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/graduation-packages\/graduation-cap-and-graduation-tassel-set\/special-order-grad-sets\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-31 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rhymeuniversity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RhymeU_ShinyGown-1-155x300.gif\" alt=\"RhymeU_ShinyGown\" width=\"155\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did you find these steps helpful?
