Alternative graduation plans in the event of inclement weather
Plans announced for graduation in the event of inclement weather
Waynesville High School announces that in the event of inclement weather, three separate graduation ceremonies will be held – Ceremony A at 2 p.m.; Ceremony B at 5 p.m.; and Ceremony C at 8 p.m. Students and their walking partners have been assigned to a specific ceremony in the event that the ceremony is moved inside. (See the list below.) Doors will open one hour before each ceremony.
Weather permitting, the one Class of 2020 graduation ceremony will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 19, 2020, in Tiger Stadium.
The decision about whether the graduation ceremony will be held inside or outside will be made by 11 a.m. Friday, June 19, and then posted on the Waynesville High School website and WHS Facebook page.
Missouri Governor Michael Parson announced on June 11 that the state will fully reopen and enter Phase 2 of its “Show Me Strong Recovery” Plan on Tuesday, June 16, 2020; however, in his COVID-19 briefing issued by the Governor’s Office of Communications, Parson states, “The virus is still out there, and it is extremely important for everyone to continue social distancing. Be proactive. Avoid large, congested crowds, and if you can’t social distance, take extra precautions to protect yourself and those around you. … Use common sense. Practice good hygiene. If you feel comfortable wearing face covering, wear a face covering. Be proactive and take precautions to protect yourself, your families, and your neighbors. And above all else, continue to social distance.”
Therefore, the limit of three tickets per graduate will remain in place, regardless of whether the event is held indoors or outside. To receive the guest tickets and participate in graduation, all graduates must attend practice at 10 a.m. June 19, regardless of the time of their ceremony.
“The only way we can provide three tickets for each graduate, adhere to social distancing guidelines and have an indoor ceremony option is to split the class into three separate times,” said WHS Principal Randy Luebbert. “Our hope is to have one ceremony outside, but we will be prepared in case it rains. In splitting the class, our goal was to keep students with their walking partners that they indicated on the form I sent out, so that they can be with a close friend.”
All attendees, including guests and graduates, will be expected to wear masks on their way in and out of the ceremony. Masks will be provided for the graduates. During the ceremony, all individuals who are socially distanced from non-family members may remove their masks. Social distancing guidelines will continue to be enforced for graduates and guests; anyone attending the graduation ceremony will be expected to comply with the guidelines at all times before, during and after the ceremony.
Graduates will go to their assigned classrooms inside WHS prior to the ceremony (whether the ceremony is held inside or outside) and will march into the stadium or gym maintaining social distance between them.
No one will be admitted into the parking lot, gym or stadium without a ticket. Upon arrival, guests are to remain in their vehicles until instructed to make their way into the stadium or gym. Dots will be placed on the bleachers and chairs to indicate where guests may sit so that social distancing may be observed before, during and after the ceremony. Family members may sit together. Social distancing is between different families.
In the event of inclement weather, students must attend the graduation time slot they have been assigned to so that social distancing may be observed.
The following are the assignments by time slots, should it become necessary to move the graduation ceremony inside.
