5.17.21 Update: Graduation Plans Extended
Last Friday, you received backup plans for NHS and SHS Graduation Ceremonies. FSPS will extend those plans to include an optional walk-through graduation ceremony on Thursday for Southside students and their families and Friday for Northside students and their families who may want to participate. These optional walk-through ceremonies will only be available in the event that the traditional commencement is cancelled because of inclement weather. All other options in the original communication still apply.
