IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT CLASS OF 2021 GRADUATION
It won’t be long and graduation will be here!
We know you have many questions about the graduation ceremonies but unfortunately, we will need to be closer to the date before we can finalize the details to share with you. We are investigating a number of different scenarios that will ultimately be decided on based on the status of the pandemic and the subsequent health guidelines provided by the CDC, Maricopa County and Chandler Unified School District at the time of graduation. Rest assured that as soon as we know what direction we will be taking, we will be letting you know.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate through these challenging times.
