• Attended by PreK - 5th-grade students and faculty/staff.
• Each 5th grader 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 email Melissa Hocate at melissahocate@css.org to register your guests. Please confirm a list of names by Friday, May 21, for up to 8 guests, and we will coordinate the numbers of chairs for your pod accordingly. 
• Highlights include Longevity Awards, 5th Graders Continue, Musical Tribute, Grade Progression for Pre-Kindergarten through 4th Grade, and Class Photo on steps of Trianon Terrace. 
• We will honor each student as they officially enter Middle School.
• Livestreaming will be available on the school’s Facebook page.
• Following the event, we will celebrate with popsicles.
• 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. 

• 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, or suits/blazers/ties. 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. Photos will be taken.  

• We are continuing our mitigation efforts with social distancing, seated by family pods, student grade-level cohorts, and masks. We want to help ensure a smooth transition to summer!
• At this time, we will not be asking for health screenings or temperature checks.

• In case of rain, we will be holding this ceremony in Louisa Performing Arts Center. 

• Students should arrive at the classroom by 8:15 a.m. on the morning of Graduation.
• Your student should wear dress-up attire for this celebratory occasion.
• The graduation ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m., and the students should be finished by 9:30 a.m., although the students are welcomed to stay until the ceremony is over at about 10:30 a.m., at which time they will be dismissed for summer!
• Ms. Kirkham will fine-tune this performance during her music classes in these final weeks. If you are unable to attend graduation on May 27, please inform me to help Ms. Kirkham prepare the arrangement accordingly.
