WATERLOO â DeKalb High School will not limit guests at Sundayâs graduation ceremony, Principal Marcus Wagner said in a letter to students and parents Thursday.
Wagner said the guest attendance update was made after consulting the DeKalb County Board of Health and reviewing the limited number of COVID-19 cases in the county. Tickets will not be required to attend, Wagner said.
Masks for graduates and guests will be optional. The Board of Health is recommending anyone who has not received a vaccination should wear a mask while in the building, Wagner said.
Spectators will not be allowed on the floor during the ceremony. However, pictures may be taken on the stage afterward.
The DeKalb Central school board approved the block schedule during its meeting Tuesday evening.
A block schedule replaces a more traditional schedule with longer class periods that meet fewer times each day and week.
In a memorandum to the board, high school Principal Marcus Wagner and middle school Principal Matt Vince outlined the reasons they recommend staying on a block schedule.
âAs we all know, the 2020-21 school year has presented many challenges and we have been compelled to make many changes as a result of COVID-19. Some of those changes have turned out to be extremely well-received by our students, staff and families. One such change was our block schedule,â the memo stated.
