• Attended by Middle School students (grades 6-8) and faculty/staff. 
• Parents of any student who will receive an award will be invited to attend. Those parents will be notified by May 12.
• Highlights include Kodiak Scholar Recognition, Departmental and Special Awards. 

• Bring your picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and even some easy-to-transport lawn games such as bocci. 
• Any guest (maximum 8) who will attend the Continuation Ceremony is welcome to attend the family picnic.
• More information to come!

• Attended by Middle School students (grades 6-8) students and faculty/staff.
• Each 8th-grade family will be permitted eight guests to sit in a reserved family pod. A sibling may sit with you in your family or with their grade-level cohort. Please confirm a list of names by Friday, May 21, for up to 8 guests, using this RSVP Link. Dr. Melissa Hocate will review guest lists and coordinate the numbers of chairs for your family pod accordingly. 
• Highlights include Longevity Awards, Advisor Speeches and 8th Grader Speeches, Grade Progression for 6th and 7th Grade, and Class Photo on Front steps of Trianon.
• Livestreaming will be available on the school’s Facebook page.
• Due to the constraints of projecting a video outside in the sunlight, the Journey Through Childhood video will be watched as a class and shared with families to view at home.

• Students and guests will be masked during transitions and movement, such as from the parking lot to the ceremony venue, from Boddington Field to the ceremony venue, and as families recess from the venue.
• We are continuing our mitigation efforts with social distancing, pod seating by family unit, student grade-level cohorts, and masks. We want to help ensure a smooth transition to summer!
• Students and guests may remove masks once seated for the ceremony.
• Hand sanitation stations will be set up across campus; guests will be encouraged to use them when passing.
• At this time, we will not be asking for health screenings or temperature checks.

• Parents of 8th-grade students will be communicated with no later than Monday, May 24
• If weather is forecasted to blow in during the afternoon hours, the contingency plan may include shifting the Continuation Ceremony to the morning hours to allow for an outdoor ceremony to occur and maximum guests to attend. 
• The indoor venue, if necessary, will be Louisa Performing Arts Center. Should the ceremony move inside, we would be required to reduce the guest count per student to six. Guest count numbers do not include the 8th-grade student but do include siblings who attend CSS (if the family prefers for the sibling(s) to sit with the family rather than with Middle School classmates).

• This is a special event, and we ask that the students dress for a celebratory occasion. We encourage students to wear dress-up attire: dresses, skirts, blouses, or suits, jackets/blazers, and tucked-in dress shirts with ties and belts.
• We ask that no tennis shoes be worn, and if wearing heels, we encourage them to be low or wedged as this is an outdoor event with walking on grass or gravel.
• Inappropriate attire: jeans, shorts, tee shirts, athletic wear, and sneakers
• Smile. Photos will be taken!
