Class of 2020,
It was wonderful seeing so many of you on campus this week and we had an exceptional turnout. We were also able to answer many of your questions and provide phone numbers to those that can assist you, and I will include them below. Furthermore, we received the link to the Virtual Graduation and that information is included as well.
Virtual Graduation (May 26th at 6:00pm)
I have yet to see the final cut, but what I have viewed is worthy of the high standards we have set to celebrate the Class of 2020. The link to the announcement has been posted, and it now includes the link to stream the graduation and a password (use all caps). Feel free to share that information with anyone you choose to. https://jurupausd.org/schools/PatriotHighSchool/Documents/Virtual%20Graduation%20Flyers%20PHS.pdf

Drive-Thru Celebration (Week of June 1st)
Similar to this week's “Grab-an-Go” we will have stations where you will return your Chromebook, our staff will confirm you have met graduation requirements (passed required classes, all textbooks/Chromebook has been returned, and any fines have been paid). After confirming that, you will recieve your diploma. You will then proceed to an area that you will exit your vehicle (your friends and family will stay in the vehicle), have your name called, and your friends and family can take your picture. You are welcome to participate even if you did not order a cap and gown. I expect dates, times, and procedures to be confirmed by our District Office very soon, and will send another email with that information as soon as I can.
Yearbooks
Unfortunately our yearbooks have been delayed for a second time, and most likely will not be received before the Drive-Thru Celebration. In fact, we are no longer provided an ETA other than “early June”. Knowing that, please continue to be patient as Jostens is experiencing printing delays due to COVID-19, and we are working to create a backup plan to distribute yearbooks.
AP Testing
Please make sure that you are communicating with your AP teacher if you have experienced complications with your AP exam and need to retake your exam during the late testing period. To those that have completed your AP tests: congratulations and we are looking forward to seeing all of your hard work and resilience pay off!
Jostens
We distributed all of the caps and gowns that we have received from Jostens. If you purchased a cap and gown and did not receive it during this week’s “Grab-an-Go”, then please contact Jostens at (909) 464-9063.
