Senior Updates

Due to some issues that we have since figured out, Driver's Village has graciously offered to run our senior picture presentation again on Saturday, June 12th only from 9am-midnight. If you did not get a chance to check it out last weekend, please check it out. It looks great!

In-person students:

In-person students will return their chromebooks and chargers to their last block teachers on Monday, June 14th. We will collect any remaining chromebooks and chargers from students on Tuesday, June 15th in their last block classes. Teachers will collect their own materials and textbooks from students and will communicate directly with students regarding this.

If a student has early dismissal, students may turn in their chromebooks at security on their way out on Monday. We will have people there to collect.

Fullly remote students:

Any student who has their own device and who wishes to return their district issued chromebook and charger, may do so on June 16th from 8:00am-3:00pm. We will also collect any materials that fully remote students have for any of their subjects or the library during that time.

We will also collect chromebooks and chargers along with any school materials on Monday, June 21st from 3:00pm-6:00pm.

If a student is planning on going to summer school, they must return their chromebooks, new chromebooks will be issued for summer school students.

We highly encourage guests and graduates (if students do not need the COVID test at Graduation Rehearsal) to get the fast pass the week of Graduation. This will alleviate additional time spent at check in at the graduation ceremony.

Distribution of fast pass wristbands will be on the following days:

• Monday - June 21st - 3:00pm - 6:00pm
• Tuesday - June 22nd - 8:00am - 2:00pm
• Wednesday - June 23rd - 2:00pm - 7:00pm
• Thursday - June 24th - 8:00am - 7:00pm
• Friday - Graduates only at mandatory rehearsal

You cannot pick up a fast pass for other people-all guests MUST be present. We will physically attach fast pass bracelets to each person.

If you cannot pick up a fast pass:

You can present your COVID-19 testing/vaccination information and fill out the contact tracing information at the door on the day of graduation. This will however take time and we cannot delay the start of our graduation ceremony due to guest arrival.

• Negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test collected within 72 hours of the event
• Negative Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) collected within 72 hours of the event

We cannot accept the Rapid Antigen test unless guests are having it done within six hours of the graduation ceremony.

If you click on the link "search for a test site near you" you can type your zip code in and it will list all of the places closest to you that you can obtain a test from.

We do not have the ability to test graduation guests at the graduation ceremony. This must be done on your own. We will however test any graduate immediately following the mandatory graduation rehearsal on Friday morning.

All seniors that will be going to graduation must report to Graduation Rehearsal at their scheduled times.

• Students graduating at the 3:00pm ceremony (last names A-K) report at 8:00am

• Students graduating at the 7:00pm ceremony (last names L-Z) report at 10:00am

Graduates must report directly to the stadium for rehearsal. Rehearsal is for graduates only.

Any student who needs to be COVID tested (that has not done so on their own, or who is not vaccinated) will be tested immediately following their scheduled rehearsal.

Seniors that need to be tested must sign up for testing on Family ID.

Graduating Seniors only:

If you would like to attend BOTH graduation ceremonies, you are welcome to do so. For the ceremony that you are not graduating in, you will be sitting in a specific section on the field for any student who wants to see one of their friends graduate.

Some specifics:

• You will not wear your cap and gown to the ceremony that you do not officially graduate.
• You do not need a ticket to enter.
• You will sit in an assigned location on the field near the rest of your graduating class.
• If interested, please sign up on the link below by June 15th.

Seniors with the last name A-K will graduate at 3:00pm. Our doors to the stadium will open at 1:45pm. Graduates must show up no later than 2:00pm and report directly to the large gym to line up.

Seniors with the last name L-Z will graduate at 7:00pm. Our doors to the stadium will open at 5:45pm. Graduates must show up no later than 6:00pm and report directly to the large gym to line up.

Handicapped parking will be at the stadium. Those parking at the stadium will have to show a handicapped hang tag in order to park in the lot. All other parking will be in the main parking lot at C-NS High School.

Anyone that shows up to the graduation ceremony that is not on our list that we received from our graduates will be denied entry to the stadium. Only those names of guests given to us by our graduates prior to graduation will be allowed admittance.

We have many many many guidelines that we must follow in order to be in compliance with New York State Department of Health so we can hold a graduation ceremony. For example, COVID testing/vaccination, contact tracing forms, and gathering size. We are jumping through all of these hoops in order to give our graduates the best graduation possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate your grace, patience and understanding as we plan for an amazing graduation celebration.
