We will have a large main stage located in our parking lot area. Students will be seated outside surrounding the main stage. Family members will need to watch the event from their vehicles. UPDATE-Students are allowed 2 car loads of guests to attend the event but must remain in their vehicles during the entire ceremony. We will not hand out tickets as this will allow for more guests to attend within their vehicles. You may bring as many people who safely fit in your car. We will open the parking lot up for spectators to arrive beginning at 5:30 PM on Friday. K 105.3 will broadcast the event LIVE on their Facebook page. This will help with viewing the event from your vehicle and for those family members who are unable to attend.
Additional Information-
- Picture This of Jackson will take graduation composite photos on Friday, July 24. In addition, photos will also be taken when your child receives their diploma on the stage. Photo ordering information will be sent home with your child at our Senior Brunch.
- The restrooms located in the football stadium area will be available during the graduation event.
- Due to Phase 4 safety requirements, we are asking families to please remain in their vehicles for the event. Please do not congregate in any area before, during, or after the event to allow us to abide by all safety procedures. Families should plan to leave directly following the ceremony.
- As we celebrate each graduate when they come across the stage, please refrain from honking horns or using other loud noise makers. There will be an opportunity at the end of the ceremony to cheer for all of them.
We would like to thank our entire community for their tremendous support throughout this time. Our graduates have waited a long time for this week and we hope to make it both special and memorable for all of our students and their families. We look forward to seeing you this week!
Sincerely,
Christi O'Neil
