Graduation Update
Masks Optional for Graduation Ceremonies
Good Afternoon WSD Staff,
We are excited to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements of our graduates on Sunday, June 6. We have continued working with the Family Arena and wanted to update you regarding the commencement ceremonies for Holt, Liberty, and Timberland.
Doors will open one hour prior to the start of each ceremony, and students should arrive a half-hour before the start of the event. Family Arena will configure the seating in a manner that allows for social distancing, and with this in consideration, masks will be optional for guests, graduates and staff. Additional Family Arena protocols include:
Graduates will proceed directly to the floor of the arena; there will be no procession.
Bags, purses, and backpacks are not allowed inside the building. Cameras and video recorders are allowed but can be the only things in a camera bag. Tripods are not allowed.
The arena concourse will flow in one direction; signs will be posted.
Graduates will be seated 6 feet apart.
Guests are prohibited from sitting in sections marked closed for social distancing.
The audience will be released section-by-section to encourage social distancing as graduates and guests exit.
Please take some time to review the updated graduation information in advance of the commencement ceremonies. If you have family members or friends who are unable to attend the ceremony, a live stream will be available online:
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2021 and seeing everyone at Family Arena on June 6.
Sincerely,
Curtis Cain, Ph.D.
Superintendent
