我们知道对于我们的12年级学生和高中教职员工来说，毕业是一个重要的成人礼，而由于COVID-19情况的原因，今年正式的毕业典礼被取消，这对所有人来说都是非常失望的。通常在五月和六月，我们都会自豪地看着我们的毕业生走上舞台。

我们的许多高中已经为他们的学生组织了视频和在线纪念活动，但我们从学校和家庭收到了大量反馈意见，建议考虑在2020-21学年举行一个可能的庆祝活动。因此，我们决定在2020-21学年安排一个自由、非教学的半天时间，允许2019-20届毕业生进行非正式的聚会。

具体的日期和其他庆祝活动的细节将在秋季开学后确定，并在AHS提供了关于在社交聚会中保护学生、教职员工和家庭健康的额外指导后确定。所有高中将有一个共同的日期。

我们知道这不是我们在2019-20学年开始时所有人所设想的毕业典礼。然而，我们希望所有的毕业生都能得到他们的成就的认可，尽管我们不能在这个时候一起举行。

一旦有了更多的信息，我们将尽快与家庭分享更多的细节。请在秋季时查看您所在高中网站上的毕业部分以获取更多信息。

We know that graduation is an important rite of passage for our Grade 12 students and high school staff, and that the cancellation of formal graduation ceremonies this year due to the COVID-19 situation has been exceptionally disappointing for all. Typically in May and June, we would be watching proudly as our graduates walk across the stage.

Many of our high schools have organized video and online tributes for their students, but we received significant feedback from our schools and families to consider a potential celebration to be held in the 2020-21 school year. Therefore, we have decided to create a flex, non-instructional half day to allow for an informal gathering of 2019-20 graduates during the 2020-21 school year.

This date and other details regarding the celebration will be determined once school has commenced in the fall, and after AHS has provided additional guidelines for protecting the health of students, staff and families at social gatherings. There will be one common date for all high schools.

We know that this isn’t the graduation that all of us envisioned when we started the 2019-20 school year. However, we want all of our graduates to be recognized for their accomplishment even though we can’t be together during this time.

More details will be shared with families as soon as it is available. In the fall, please look to the graduation section of your high school’s website for further information.
