Indian River School District unveils final graduation plans

Posted

SELBYVILLE — The Indian River School District has finalized graduation ceremony plans for the class of 2021.

Sussex Central High School will host a single outdoor graduation ceremony June 1, while Indian River High School will hold a single ceremony, also outdoors, on June 2.

The Howard T. Ennis School will host a single indoor ceremony June 3.

The schedule is as follows:

  • June 1 — Sussex Central High School graduation ceremony, 7 p.m.
  • June 2 — Indian River High School graduation ceremony, 7 p.m.
  • June 3 — Howard T. Ennis School graduation ceremony, 1 p.m., in the school's gymnasium.

The rain date for the high school ceremonies is June 3. If both high school ceremonies are postponed due to inclement weather, Sussex Central’s will be rescheduled for June 3 and Indian River’s for June 4. Start times will remain the same.

Each principal will share information regarding the number of guests that will be able to attend the ceremonies and will communicate detailed instructions to families related to arrival procedures and COVID-19 protocols.

During each high school graduation ceremony, family members will sit together in pods with 3 to 6 feet of social distancing between other family groups. Graduates will also be seated 3 feet apart and will maintain a safe social distance when exiting their seats to receive their diplomas.

At the Howard T. Ennis School, guests must RSVP to enter the venue and indicate whether they reside in the same household as the graduate does. Each graduate will have a designated section of the gymnasium where his or her family members may sit during the ceremony. These sections will be outlined with tape on the floor. Hand sanitizer will be available at both entrances to the gymnasium.

All school facilities will be cleaned and sanitized before and after the ceremonies.
