CSD would like to share with our community that all schools in Arkansas have received guidance from the Governor and the Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education regarding graduation ceremonies. Current guidance states that there can be no PreK, Kindergarten or Middle School graduation ceremonies, only High School.
Traditional high school graduation ceremonies are restricted until July 1 at the earliest. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will consult with Arkansas Department of Health to review data and re-evaluate the situation as we approach July 1 and continue to make decisions based on current public health data.
DESE encourages schools to delay their graduation ceremonies; however, if a high school desires to hold a non-traditional graduation ceremony prior to July 1, this can be considered as long as the plans adhere to the current health emergency directives regarding social distancing and limits to the number of people in a congregate setting. Any non-traditional graduation plan must be submitted to the Department of Education. The plan will be reviewed, in consultation with the Department of Health, for adherence to established public health guidelines.
With approval from the Department of Education, Crossett High School will be hosting two graduation ceremonies. The first will be a virtual commencement held on May 22 at 6 pm via Facebook and YouTube. The traditional commencement will occur July 25 (with state guidance) -time and location to be announced after July 1.
