ELLWOOD CITY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
Educating all of our children today for their success tomorrow
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Attention Parents and Seniors,
Out of an abundance of caution and predicted weather for this Thursday, Lincoln’s commencement ceremony will be held in the auditorium on June 5th. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. We considered many factors, including accessibility, safety, and the extensive time and preparation required to set up for such a meaningful event—especially when it comes to staging, seating, and coordinating the sound system. Our team has spent many hours planning to ensure the ceremony remains a special and memorable occasion for our seniors and their loved ones. The graduation ceremony starts at 7:00 pm. The doors to the auditorium will open at 6:00 pm. Each senior family will receive 8 tickets for the event. Seats are first come first served and there will be standing room available if needed.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we adjust our plans in response to the weather. We look forward to celebrating this important milestone together, rain or shine.
