Hello to the Class of 2021 Graduates & Their Families,

We have an exciting announcement about the graduation schedule for the Class of 2021. There will be an in-person ceremony in small groups on June 4, 5, & 6 in our own Jacket Stadium. Each graduate will receive four (4) guest wristbands. We look forward to hearing cheers in the stands for the graduates, but for all other fans of the Class of 2021, you can rest assured that we will record each ceremony and have plans to make it available as a livestream. There will be professional photographers near the stage to capture each graduate walking up to and on the stage as well. This is sure to be a memorable day for all and we look forward to each Jacket graduate getting their chance to shine on stage.

In addition to a reduced seating capacity spaced out in pods of 4 guests in the bleachers, we will require mask wearing, provide hand sanitizer stations, and clean high contact surfaces between ceremonies. Although it may seem to add to spirit to the event, we are not allowing the distribution of any items (balloons, flowers, sashes, leis, etc.) at Jacket Stadium on the ceremony day. Please help us keep the ceremony a healthy environment for all by staying home if you feel ill or have recently come into contact with someone who was feeling ill or who has tested positive for COVID-19. 

In future communications we will provide more details about health precautions being set for these ceremonies as well as other information regarding parking, ADA seating, wristband distribution, livestream, photography, among other items. 

Thank you & Go Jackets!

We will share updates directly via student email, the BHS e-tree, the BHS website <https://bhs.berkeleyschools.net/>, the senior lette <https://bhs.berkeleyschools.net/student-activities-3/senior-information-2/>r among other means.
