To Circle Families and Students,
I am unfortunately writing this letter to inform you that due to the elevated risk of COVID 19 in our community we are canceling our in-person graduation ceremony on July 26th at 1: 30 pm. This is a deeply saddening decision for our Administration and Senior Advisory Group to have to make. We came to this conclusion after taking advice from the local health departments and medical professionals.
This was an extremely difficult decision to make, but we believe it is in the best interest of our Circle Community. The safety and security of our students and staff are paramount to us. We could not in good faith move forward with a large in-person gathering without putting people’s safety at risk.
Our Senior Advisory Group and our Administration are currently working on another option that will be communicated to the community by the end of next week. We envision some form of “Graduate Car Line” that will allow a graduate and their families to drive up to a set stage and with guidance walk across the stage to receive a diploma. We will provide a much more detailed plan in the coming days. We will keep our date of July 26th for this new option.
Sincerely,
Matthew J. Carroll
