Dear Class of 2020...

Congrats, Grad!

As we approach the season of graduation ceremonies, LA County's Director of Public Health Dr. Barbara Ferrer and LA County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Debra Duardo have shared an update on in-person graduation ceremonies.

Here's what you need to know:

  1. The LA County Department of Public Health Officer’s Safer at Home Order prohibits all public and private gatherings.
  2. The Order does not allow any exemptions for graduation gatherings of any type in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. This means all in-person graduation ceremonies, including use of cars for drive-in graduations (even if one student at a time), are considered public gatherings and are therefore prohibited.
  3. Virtual ceremonies are permitted and encouraged!

Planning for a Virtual Graduation?

As you, your school, or your family prepares to commemorate this milestone, we want to help. XQ The Rethink Together Forum, who brought us this year's #GraduateTogether2020 virtual graduation ceremony, is offering tips on how to plan a virtual graduation ceremony of your own. Check out their Virtual Graduation Ceremony Toolkit for resources and inspiration to:
