You will be receiving an email from your child's homeroom teacher with all of the information you and your families will need in order to join in this recognition ceremony. Please expect this email on Wednesday, May 6th. In this email, you will be provided with the link for 'tuning in virtually' as well as directions for your child to add their 'own short memory video' that will be included in the graduation event.
Please know that we will do everything possible to make this virtual graduation special and meaningful for our students and our families.
As always, thank you for your continued support this school year. We look forward to an amazing last three weeks of school and hope to see you all (virtually) on May 20th!
