Due to Covid-19 many high school and college graduation ceremonies were cancelled and now they ceremonies that will happen have a slightly different look to them.
According to the Colorado Department of Education graduation ceremonies must follow certain guidelines like, remaining six feet apart, no gatherings of ten or more, all participants must be screened for a fervor before the ceremony and the diplomas a cannot be be handed from person to person. As well as graduates having to wear face coverings and all ceremonies must be held outside.
Douglas County schools are planning on taking these requirements into consideration and plan to have outdoor ceremonies the week of June 23rd, although that date my change. Douglas County says it will take at least a week for there plans to be denied or approved and will keep everyone up-to-date on graduation plans.
Douglas County plans to hold smaller ceremonies with only ten seniors graduating at a time. Parents and family members will not be allowed to watch the ceremony in person. The ceremony will be live streamed from family members. Those who attend graduation will also have to wear face masks and remain six-feet-apart.
“I’ve been so impressed with the positivity and maturity displayed by our seniors in spite of the many obstacles and challenges that have occurred due to this pandemic,” said the Superintendent in Douglas County’s latest update.
