Graduation Update: Covid Protocols - The Weather Forecast for

Sunday Looks Great!!! 

 

Parents, Seniors, and Families - With the new outdoor mandate protocols being lifted as of June

1st, we will be able to have anyone who wants to attend our outdoor graduation ceremony on

Sunday June 6th.  Masks will not be required and we will not have to limit the number of people

in attendance! GREAT NEWS! 

 

With that said, if we had to move graduation indoors due to bad weather, we would have to limit

capacity for an indoor event and we would have to mask up.  With the current guidelines, we

could grant each graduate 3 tickets to attend the indoor graduation and 3 more tickets per

graduate for other family members to watch the streamed live version of graduation in our

student center or auditorium.  (Please note, the streamed live version of graduation can be viewed

anywhere with wifi connection).  These numbers would put us at 50% capacity in each of these

locations.  Let’s just hope and keep our fingers crossed for an outdoor graduation!!!!

graduates to consider attending and participating as a part of the Sunday Graduation festivities!
