Graduation Information

Outdoor graduation ceremonies that are lightly attended mitigate Coronavirus transmission risk, but additional guidelines may further reduce the risk. The purpose of these guidelines are to assist sites with reducing risk to staff, students, and guests.  Handwashing stations will be placed at the entrances.  Hand sanitizer will be placed in strategic locations in the venue.  Masks will be provided for all staff, students, and guests who do not have face coverings.

• Maintain a minimum of 6 feet of physical distance between themselves and others outside their home.
• People who are at higher risk of getting very sick should not participate:
• People 65 years and older
• People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
• People who have underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled
• People who have had COVID-19 Symptoms in the prior three days or who came in contact with someone who have COVID-19 in the last 14 days should not participate.
• Staff, students, and guests should wear face coverings (Masks will be provided to anyone who needs one)
