   My younger cousin is graduating from TWHS this year (her parents are flying in from out of state and staying over in East Shore with me for the week), so I am trying to get our family game plan set up early. I saw the Conroe ISD notice go up for the commencement event for seniors, but since the announcement did not list the specific date or time or venue details yet, I want to ask how chaotic the parking situation usually gets once those details are out. How early should we plan to arrive so we can get decent seating together with grandparents coming along?

   Parking is always a mess for Conroe ISD graduations. Get there early. Bring comfortable shoes for the walk from the overflow lots. Traffic backs up fast when thousands of families arrive at once.

   If you are hauling older relatives around, drop them off right at the front curb before you go waste half an hour hunting for a spot. You will spend twenty minutes minimum circling the lot if you show up right when doors open. I live in Alden Bridge and traffic on event days is always a headache no matter where they host it.

   Dropping off the grandparents at the curb first is a super smart idea (I definitely did not think about how far my grandma can walk in her fancy shoes). Do you guys know if Conroe ISD usually releases the exact venue assignment and door times a few months out or right before the event?

   CISD graduation traffic is crazy. Tell your family to carpool in one car. Less vehicles in the parking lot makes leaving much easier.

   They usually publish the final schedule with the venue and specific times on the Conroe ISD district pages closer to the date. Once those official times come out, I would plan to be at the venue at least an hour before doors open if you want your whole group sitting together. If you have family flying in, make sure they leave plenty of cushion time on the road because the line to get into the parking gates moves very slowly once everyone shows up.
