The commencement event has been modified to accommodate social distancing and other COVID-19 precautions.
Additionally, high school students soon will be able to receive a vaccine through a school-involved pop-up clinic.
The district has entered a partnership with Homecare Pharmacy in Beloit to provide the Pfizer vaccine for students ages 16 to 18. Students under the age of 18 will need parental permission.
Families who are interested in signing their child up for vaccination are being asked to complete a consent form by Friday. Parents of children turning 16 in May are asked to contact the district nurse, Erin Bown.
Koeppen said so far, the majority of families who already have said no to the vaccine offer have stated their child has either already been vaccinated or has an appointment scheduled elsewhere.
