It is with regret that I inform you that I have postponed our commencement exercise again, this time to the weekend of July 25-26. This decision is based on the current executive orders and the survey results I received from you last week. I am scheduling a Senior and Senior Parent Zoom meeting for next Thursday, July 9th at 6pm to share out the survey results and to discuss our plan moving forward. If the governor moves our region from Phase #4 to Phase #5, I’m confident we’ll be able to get what we want, but until then, we remain on hold with our HS commencement exercise. The Senior Zoom meeting login information will be posted to our school website by 5:30pm next Thursday.
