To Our Wolf Pack Families and Graduates,
As you know, we have been partnering with Truce Media on compiling a video that will honor our graduates and their many accomplishments, as well as a virtual, interactive graduation ceremony for our students. Using the guidance given by Superintendent Susana Cordova, we set out to plan the best experience possible given district guidelines and guidelines from the county health department.
Recently, other DPS schools have been given permission to conduct other celebrations that take place on their campuses. Seeing this occur has negatively impacted our school community, because our graduates, our families, and our staff feel other campuses have been granted special permission to do this, while our school follows the guidelines previously given to us from DPS. Today I reached out to my supervisors to share my concerns about this. I have asked for our graduates to be celebrated in the same manner as other schools and to receive the same opportunity to say goodbye to their teachers and support staff who have been with them for years. Our concerns have been heard, and just now received approval to have an in-person pre-graduation send off on our campus!
Today we assembled our graduation team and put the following measures in place to ensure that our graduates are receiving the same send-offs as their peers, as well as receiving the send off to celebrate just how amazing they are and how hard they have worked. Here is our amended schedule below to properly celebrate our seniors. More information will be coming, so please check your emails early next week for more info!
