Dear Class of 2020 Students and Families: June 5, 2020

Congratulations! You have made it to the final stretch of your high school careers. Despite the closing of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you have finished strong and are about to become graduates of Comsewogue High School’s Class of 2020. We are extremely proud of all of your accomplishments throughout your academic career, and exceptionally proud of how you have persevered during these past few months of uncertainty.

We understand that it is disappointing to end your high school career without being able to celebrate your

traditional senior year milestones with friends, family, and our school community. We have been working diligently to develop ways to make the end of your senior year memorable and special. We appreciate all of the feedback we have received from the Class of 2020 students and families. With the information gathered, safety being our top priority, and adherence to government regulations and social distancing being of paramount importance, we have developed the following plan:

We will celebrate our Class of 2020 during “Senior Week”. These events, beginning on Friday, June 19,

Thursday, June 25, 2020 – Drive Through Class of 2020 Car Parade – 12:00-1:00pm Seniors are invited to commemorate their original graduation date by participating in a Class of 2020 Senior Car Parade. While driving through the North Parking Lot Bus Circle, Seniors will be celebrated by faculty and staff who will be there to send our Class of 2020 off. We encourage students to decorate their cars and wear their cap and gowns. Thursday, July 23, 2020 - Commencement Ceremony - 6:45pm

While we know this is not how you imagined ending your senior year, please know that we are doing everything in our power to make your graduation celebration special and memorable for both you and your family. As of June 4, 2020, the Governor announced that live graduations are not permitted, so we will be postponing our planned live graduation to July 23rd. This event, if permitted by current gathering restrictions, will be for graduates only and will have to adhere to current social distancing guidelines. We will require all in attendance to wear a face mask. Due to the parking spaces available on our campus, we will limit each graduate to one vehicle. The vehicle must be able to fit in one parking spot (no campers or buses please).

We will have three large video walls in our parking lots for families to watch the ceremony from the safety

of their own cars while it is transmitted through FM radio. The Ceremony will also be streamed live on our Comsewogue District Facebook page. Please understand our Commencement Ceremony will be a rain or shine event as we are unable to adequately socially distance indoors.

We will continue to monitor the regulations and executive orders of the Governor's office and Department of Health and make adjustments as needed. More details will be released as they become available to us.

Once again, we thank everyone for the feedback and understanding. Under the current state guidelines,

we have carefully crafted a plan that honors our graduates in a way that is both safe and closely resembles the traditions that we have all grown to love at Comsewogue. Sincerely,

Michael Mosca Michael Mosca Principal Comsewogue High School

Estimado Clase de 2020 Estudiantes y Familias: 5 de junio de 2020

¡Felicidades! Has logrado llegar a la última carrera de tu escuela secundaria. A pesar del cierre de las escuelas debido a la pandemia COVID-19, usted ha terminado fuerte y está a punto de convertirse en graduados de la clase de 2020 de Comsewogue High School. Estamos muy orgullosos de todos sus logros a lo largo de su carrera académica, y excepcionalmente orgullosos de cómo ha perseverado durante estos últimos meses de incertidumbre.

Entendemos que es decepcionante terminar su carrera en la escuela secundaria sin poder celebrar sus hitos

tradicionales de último año con amigos, familiares y nuestra comunidad escolar. Hemos estado trabajando diligentemente para desarrollar maneras de hacer que el final de su último año sea memorable y especial. Agradecemos todos los comentarios que hemos recibido de la Clase de 2020 estudiantes y familias. Con la información recopilada, siendo la seguridad nuestra máxima prioridad, y la adhesión a las regulaciones gubernamentales y el distanciamiento social de suma importancia, hemos desarrollado el siguiente plan:

Celebraremos nuestra Clase de 2020 durante la "Semana Senior". Estos eventos, a partir del viernes 19

de junio de 2020, reconocerán los logros y logros de nuestra increíble Senior Class. Viernes, 19 de junio de 2020 - Premios Atléticos Virtuales Varsity - 6:00pm (Zoom - Invitación a seguir)

Comenzaremos nuestra semana celebrando a nuestros atletas Varsity para el año escolar 2019-2020, así como honrando nuestros seis premios especiales para personas mayores. Lunes, 22 de junio de 2020 - Noche de Becas Virtuales - 6:30pm (Zoom - Invitación a seguir)

Organizaremos nuestra Noche de Becas anual utilizando la plataforma de conferencia Zoom. Si su hijo ha sido seleccionado para una beca, recibirá una invitación por correo con el Código de Reunión y contraseña para unirse. Martes, 23 de junio de 2020 - Virtual Senior Prom - 8:00pm (Zoom - Invitación a seguir)

Si bien parece poco probable que las restricciones a las reuniones se alivien a tiempo para nuestra fecha de graduación original, planeamos celebrar la ocasión lo mejor que podamos. Nuestro DJ ha aceptado ofrecer un Baile Virtual a través de Zoom. El Baile Virtual comenzará a las 8:00pm. Continuaremos trabajando para apoyar a los estudiantes/familias de la Clase de 2020 que han expresado interés en organizar una reunión de ex alumnos. Ya hemos asegurado una fecha de respaldo en el East Wind el 29 de julio de 2020 si las directrices del gobierno permitirán una reunión en interiores de ese tamaño. Miércoles, 24 de junio de 2020 - Senior Slide Show Drive-In

Los graduados experimentarán un evento de celebración único, ya que serán invitados a una "Noche en el Drive-in" en el estacionamiento de estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria para ver su presentación de diapositivas

para personas mayores. Tendremos 2 visitas (7:30pm y 9:00pm). Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de inscribirse en la sesión de su elección a través de un formulario de Google que se publicará en la clase de Google Classroom 2020.

Jueves, 25 de junio de 2020 - Conducir a través de la clase de 2020 Desfile de coches - 12:00-1:00pm

Las personas mayores son invitadas a conmemorar su fecha de graduación original participando en una Clase de 2020 Senior Car Parade. Mientras conduce a través del Círculo de Autobuses del Estacionamiento norte, los ancianos serán celebrados por la facultad y el personal que estará allí para enviar nuestra clase de 2020 de descuento. Animamos a los estudiantes a decorar sus coches y usar su gorra y batas. Jueves, 23 de julio de 2020 - Ceremonia de Inicio - 7:00pm

Si bien sabemos que no es así como imaginó terminar su último año, por favor sepa que estamos haciendo todo lo que está a nuestro alcance para hacer que su celebración de graduación sea especial y memorable tanto para usted como para su familia. A partir del 4 de junio de 2020, el Gobernador anunció que las graduaciones en vivo no están permitidas, por lo que vamos a posponer nuestra graduación en vivo planeada hasta el 23 de julio. Este evento, si lo permiten las restricciones actuales de recolección, será solo para graduados y tendrá que adherirse a las pautas actuales de distanciamiento social. Vamos a requerir que todos los asistentes lleven una máscara facial. Debido a las plazas de estacionamiento disponibles en nuestro campus, limitaremos cada graduado a un vehículo. El vehículo debe ser capaz de caber en un lugar de estacionamiento (sin campistas o autobuses por favor).

Tendremos tres grandes paredes de video en nuestros estacionamientos para que las familias vean la

ceremonia desde la seguridad de sus propios coches mientras se transmite a través de la radio FM. La Ceremonia también se transmitirá en vivo en nuestra página de Facebook del Distrito de Comsewogue. Por favor, entienda que nuestra Ceremonia de Inicio será un evento de lluvia o brillo, ya que no podemos distanciarse adecuadamente socialmente en el interior.

Continuaremos monitoreando las regulaciones y órdenes ejecutivas de la oficina del Gobernador y el Departamento de Salud y haremos ajustes según sea necesario. Se darán a conocer más detalles a medida que estén disponibles para nosotros.

Una vez más, agradecemos a todos por los comentarios y la comprensión. Bajo las pautas estatales

actuales, hemos elaborado cuidadosamente un plan que honra a nuestros graduados de una manera que es segura y se parece mucho a las tradiciones que todos hemos llegado a amar en Comsewogue. Atentamente, Michael Mosca Principales Escuela Secundaria Comsewogue
