RTC Graduation Details Set

From RT-C ISD Superintendent Brandon Schovajsa:

RT-C ISD will have its graduation ceremony at Round Top Festival Institute on June 5 at 7 p.m. Several guidelines will have to be followed in order to make this event possible. The ceremony is planned to be outdoors at this time, but the District will continue to evaluate TEA guidelines regarding graduation up to the day of the ceremony in the event that TEA allows indoor ceremonies to be conducted. In the event of inclement weather on the day of graduation, the ceremony will be postponed to June 6 at the same time and location.

There are a bunch of guidelines for the ceremony which have been sent to families of seniors, but here’s some highlights:

-8th Grade Promotion will not be included in the graduation ceremony.

-Seniors will be allowed ten guests. Seniors will send the names of the ten guests to the high school principal, and those names will be placed on a guest list that WILL NOT be subject to change on the day of the ceremony.

-TEA guidelines state that seniors should sit with their families, so the seating arrangements will be chairs placed in rows of 11 with six feet distancing between each row.

-Prior to attending the ceremony, participating students, participating parties, and attending family members must be screened (via a questionaire) by school system employees.

-Facemasks are recommended, except during official ceremony pictures.
