1. Cheryl Migatz Our high school seniors deserve closure to their 13 years of public education. They are grieving the loss of their senior milestones and the last moments of time with classmates. Please use whatever creativity you have to give them a capstone moment for their graduation. Work within whatever safety guidelines the state had in place at the time, but PLEASE give them their moment. None of them asked to experience this loss of what is one of life’s major milestones. 

A:  Our High School Principals along with Student Council, Senior Class Advisors, designated PTA Council parents, and other designated members of our high school communities are working with the administration to come up with innovative ways to provide our Seniors and their families with alternative plans to a traditional graduation ceremony for our 2020 June Graduates. This is a major milestone in our Seniors’ lives (and for our parents as well), and we would like to make sure we do all that we can to provide our Seniors with a memorable experience.

We have received dozens of emails from concerned families looking to provide us with input. We are such a large District, with two traditional high schools and one alternative high school that it makes logistical sense that we collect ideas using this Google Form.

This form is to be used by families of graduating seniors to share their ideas with us.

2. Tanya What are the plans for prom/ graduation? We keep hearing there are plans but no ideas are being shared. Will there be a poll so students / parents can choose and narrow it down to top 5? Is there a spreadsheet of ideas that are being considered ? Ideas that were denied and why?

A:  Unfortunately Prom has been canceled.

3. Tanya How do we get access to this link before the day of the Meeting ? 20 mins before the meeting is not enough time. Can the district send emails to parents sooner ?

A:  The link provided for public comment specific to a scheduled board meeting is available a half hour before the meeting begins, throughout the live meeting, and until the end of the meeting.  Public comments are read at the end of the meeting so that those watching the live stream can post comments before the meeting starts and as the meeting discussions occur.  It provides the opportunity for the public to provide input, who can not be present at a board meeting due to the Governor’s Executive Order restricting group gatherings. The community is welcome to email the district with comments any time through the following:

4. Jen Colombos Please consider giving our seniors as close to a traditional graduation that they can have. They have lost so much this year. A outdoor option with only parents and siblings in attendance with a live stream option is a good option. Thank you

5. Gladys Justiniano Our seniors deserve a graduation. They have worked so hard for this! This is a milestone that can not be dismissed as it will have a long term affect. Please do not shatter their dreams of wearing that cap and gown and receiving that diploma in front of their family & friends.
