Class of 2021 graduation update
At the start of the school year, we all wondered if seniors would once again miss out on the traditions that can be definitive moments in a student’s high school experience. With COVID-19 rates reduced significantly from their highs in November and December and students returning to blended and in-person learning, we are hopeful that some sort of in-person commencement celebration for the Class of 2021 may be possible.
We know how important senior year is to students, and that this year has been incredibly difficult. We care for you and hope to have additional information for you soon about what we can look forward to this spring.
Roseville Area High School (RAHS)
While the state has not announced what will be allowed, we are preparing for a possible in-person graduation event on the RAHS football field. Even if we have to hold multiple events with smaller groups of students and families and social distancing, we hope this is welcome news to our seniors and their families.
Fairview Alternative High School (FAHS)
FAHS is planning for graduation on June 7, 2021. As was shared with families in January, we continue to monitor a number of factors as we make decisions on what graduation will look like this spring, which could be: a traditional FAHS graduation in the RAMS auditorium with graduates, families, friends and school staff; graduation at an outside venue; live-streamed graduation in the RAMS auditorium with graduates and school staff; or a virtual graduation.
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
ABE is planning for an in-person outdoor graduation, if state guidance allows, in the summer. Stay tuned for additional information.
