They are very very concerned about prom we were very optimistic very hopeful that this would be the way by June, looks like it's it's not going to go away and so prom producer I promise have been cancelled for the school year and so I know that is very heartbreaking for all seniors across h u s t but in particular Banning on myself for my might my singers as well on graduation there has been a lot of early questions and I say early maybe starting about three weeks ago which we didn't have any answers to I'm so now we have some answers for you and I'm switching my some of my notes here so

we should be getting our options and vendors exactly what kind of bomb options at the school site has there will be no drive-thru graduations our drive up graduation because we feel as though as a ousd community that we really cannot control the the safety and the environment and so we have to make sure that we are safe so the virtual graduation was the only option that we will have the graduation will be staggered the dates of the graduation will be steiger's for examples of reason for that is that we have families in Wilmington Delaware Steve that we have students that will be graduating from elementary school in middle school so that we want to make sure that all of our families are able to watch their virtual graduation I'm of their children and not miss the ceremony I have to pick and choose what ceremony to watch okay so they'll be able to view multiple ceremony so they will be staggered okay also another event at Banyan and all high schools is which is a where which is bad that would happen after graduation is also cancelled at this time it is a large venue and of course there are State Health guidelines. those type of venues to open and have such large amounts of people we only have on the average about four hundred students that actually attend grad night every year and so just been here alone with already be out of wood fixed Disneyland out of compliance with if there was to be any guidelines to follow but at this time we have not heard any other than the fact that Prana grab night are canceled okay the district will be advertising a

was the amount of parents that this is very respectfully but I what the  would want to say is I've never been more proud to work for the city of La and having such great leadership not only in the city but in the county but also in the state I feel like our elected officials have really stepped up IncrediPet of this pandemic keep me up with the news I know it's hard not to have you see what's going on in other states where some states haven't even declared a state of emergency in California was the first of its kind I'm our governor governor Newsom really got ahead of the curve our mayor has done an exceptional job in our LA County Partners have done an exceptional job and making sure that everybody safe I know we're kind of getting to that. we're getting anxious to get out if you see what's going on in in Orange County but we know we're at work were flattening the curve and I think you know the more we stay inside the or the safer we are but I think we need to be patient that's the message that I leave my screen you have some some visuals for you all let me know if you can actually see it oh I guess it's disabled in somebody going to share my screen that would be up to the sugar Sia or Miss Teresa picture once again can you see my screen know yes no head and tired Casino yes, so this is just a quick snippet of what we've been doing in our district will counselor will

sending this out providing the community with our number are our direct line and so that they can reach out to us if they have any questions or concerns right now primarily our seniors are number our number one priority given that we don't have much time with them as they will be graduating but we won't work with them up until they start school or their first day of college as well but even then we still have a really strong relationship with our college-bound alumni or former former students before I forget we are taking signups for the college classes in the fall and we're still kind of transitioning I may not know where we're at but we will still be offering college courses in the fall and it will have sign ups for that I'll probably sometime at the end of this month as well it's on that as well so that's that's all that I have so much for being with us this morning that I really appreciate it I'll stay safe okay yes thank you thank you happiness as well as accept station right on this one I just don't have nothing and so I just want to go ahead and have breasts that came up on the name I know that I had. questions about graduation and then some questions in the queue on naso what are the questions that were submitting a head of time we're questions about to please have a graduation graduation graduation even if it's later in the year and how do you know what about grades senior dues for activities that were not happening how do seniors pick up transcripts for college what about the Panorama picture that's called jacket and the Yearbook okay so there okay so I'm going to go down the list that I have right now and then if I don't answer that supposed to speak questions must move on I'll just go ahead and focus be back into I know there are questions that you just asked okay so in terms of graduation and having a graduation at a later date yes of course I would love to have a graduation at a later date I would love to I've seen of the universities and what they're doing I believe that they are already saying that they maybe I'll be able to offer a graduation in December for those graduates were supposed to graduate in meso if we are given the green light to assemble enlarger get a large venue in larger numbers yes of course I am open to providing a graduation to our students I believe that they deserve it, believe they work very very hard I will do anything and everything that I can to make sure that that happens to be very cautious about acknowledge the fact that we have to wait for the green light from the state of California to do so so that is basically why I am very hesitant to share more information with you about the graduation because of the unknown but once that green light is on yes of course I will be more than happy to provide a band graduation for Banning record that is my plan today and let's hope that I'm able executed once all of the song call Zara question about the school being sanitized the school is Santa Claus right now as we speak there's no one going in and out of the classroom and cleaned and sanitized and so we're very grateful the Injured Workers at our plant managers for for doing so the refund for prom of there will be a refund for all of the activities that will do Brad night however there is already there has been a Google comes with the students have already filled out to provide a refund to them Mr Vargas is the one who was in charge of grad night and is actually getting those filled out by the student so I will bring customer service for doing that also there was a question about virtual graduation yes there will be a graduation there this is the directive to have a virtual graduation for all graduation from 5th grade to 8th grade to 12th grade are we want to make sure that our kids are recognized for what they have accomplished and again that is the virtual graduation that we will have will get more information about it where to buy Super tender Buda that we have formation starting next week in regards to how we can move forward with our virtual graduation but again this will be separate from the one that we are very optimistic in Adelaide dates again and phones on suits watching the the universities and how they're going to plan their route 2020 graduation and right now it looks like they're planning it for December 10th that way might be a good idea to attend anytime sooner because our students will be away at college and hopefully they will sign up to participate if we're able to have a graduation in December when they're back home for the for the holidays okay so I want to make sure that everyone is included in that but Unity the yearbooks the yearbook so we are all they ever has been completed they are on their way to Banning High School
