加拿大卡尔加里教育委员会（CBE）已经做出了艰难的决定，取消了2019-20学年的毕业典礼、宴会和学校庆祝活动。这个决定并不轻易，是基于卡尔加里市决定在6月30日之前取消所有公共聚会的基础上做出的。我们知道毕业对于学生、家庭和朋友来说是一个重要而有意义的里程碑。这是一个无法替代的事件，标志着多年的努力、牺牲和支持。我们理解你们在取消毕业典礼时的难过，并对学生无法走上舞台庆祝他们的学术成就表示同情。学校正在考虑为毕业生提供不同的机会，在6月份领取年鉴和证书，并可能会制作视频致敬。

学校将在未来几周内就领取毕业材料和其他个人物品的具体计划进行沟通。每所高中都将在信息可得时分享有关退还毕业费用的信息。由于COVID-19疫情的不确定性，我们目前无法就秋季的计划进行沟通。

我们要感谢所有学生和他们的家庭对我们的理解和合作。我们将共同度过这个难关。

​The CBE has made the difficult decision to cancel graduation ceremonies, banquets and school-based celebrations for the 2019-20 school year. This decision was not taken lightly and was based on The City of Calgary’s decision to cancel all public gatherings up until June 30. We know graduation is an important and meaningful milestone for students, families and friends. It is an irreplaceable event that marks many years of hard work, sacrifice and support. We feel your sadness in having to cancel graduations and empathize with students not being able to walk across the stage to celebrate their academic achievement. Schools are considering different opportunities for our graduands to receive yearbooks and certificates and potential video tributes in June.

Schools will communicate their specific plans related to picking up graduation material and other personal belongings in the coming weeks. Each high school will share information regarding graduation fee refunds as it becomes available. Given the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation, we are unable to communicate plans for the fall at this time.

We want to thank all of our students and their families for your understanding and cooperation. We will all get through this together.
