Graduation Weather Plan

Dear graduating seniors and families, We are making final preparations for tomorrow’s graduation ceremony and are very excited to celebrate this significant milestone in the lives our students and their families. As we all know, the only thing that is consistent with spring weather in Colorado is its unpredictability. We are keeping an eye on the forecast and will notify families by 7:30 a.m. tomorrow by social media, email, phone and text (based on your notification settings in Infinite Campus) if there is a change in ceremony location due to weather. If the forecast for rain or thunderstorms looks definitive, we will host the 2017 graduation ceremony in our gymnasium. As space is more limited inside, every student will be given four tickets to distribute to family members or friends to have a guaranteed seat inside the main ceremony. For any members of our community that we cannot accommodate in the gymnasium, we will be hosting a live stream of the full ceremony in our auditorium. Families and friends can also live stream the ceremony from any web-enabled device at http://stvra.in/fhslive (link will be live by 10:00 a.m. on Saturday). If the decision is made to host the ceremony outdoors as planned and we experience an unexpected change of weather, we ask that everyone calmly and quickly follow the graduates and school staff into the school to resume the ceremony in the gymnasium with overflow in the auditorium.  This has been a tremendous year for our graduating class and I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to our students, teachers, staff, families and community who have all played an important part in the achievements we will be celebrating tomorrow. Thank you,Brian YoungPrincipal, Frederick High School
