- Graduates and their 2 family members will be sitting together.
- Everyone attending and/or participating in graduation is required to wear a mask.
- Graduates – wear a mask to CV; we will have a special one for you to wear during graduation!
**We would like to ask all graduates and family members to self-screen prior to coming to ConVal High School on August 8th. If you are showing any symptoms or have a temperature, please do NOT attend graduation.
Arrival:
- There will be staggered arrival times beginning at 4 pm
- Graduates and their family will arrive in one vehicle.
- Families will be limited to 2 individuals. While we know this will be hard, please understand that during these difficult times it is important to adhere to CDC guidance.
- All family members and graduates must check in together at their designated time.
- Names will be verified by a list generated from the RSVP form referenced in this letter.
- Keep social distancing (6 feet) throughout the check-in process; there will be ground marks to assist you in this.

- Using proper social distancing (6 feet – with ground marks to help) a class marshall will escort the line to the appropriate starting point.
- The graduate’s name will be called, that student will walk onto the stage, pick up their diploma, walk off the stage, pick up one yellow rose, and return to their seat all while maintaining social distancing of 6 feet at all times.
End of Ceremony:
- At the end of the ceremony, families and graduates must immediately return to their vehicles and leave the parking lot.
- We cannot have any congregating on the field or in the parking lot.
- We understand that there are a lot of rules and protocols to follow; however, it is our intention to give you as normal a graduation as possible.
Please follow this link to RSVP for graduation. It is imperative we know who is coming so we can plan for arrival times and seating for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at dcoyne@conval.edu.
In the event of rain, graduation will be held on Sunday, August 9th at 6:00 pm.
Thank you for your understanding during these trying times.
