What about graduation?

Due to the closings, we were forced to move graduation back from our original date of May 23^rd.  We moved graduation to Sunday, June 1^st because the only available days at the Honeywell Center were on a Sunday.  We understand that this has caused some changes in plans and may make some travel arrangements difficult for families traveling out of town.  However, this is the best plan to accommodate the majority while keeping graduation at the Honeywell Center.

If there are additional concerns or questions, please feel free to either contact me at 563-2151 or your child’s building principal.

Sincerely,

Jason Callahan, Superintendent
