Good afternoon,

It is finally time for us to celebrate the Class of 2022 with this year’s graduation ceremony! We wanted to send a final update to this year’s ceremony. Due to the recent updates in weather for this upcoming Saturday, we will host our graduation ceremony inside the gymnasium. This slight change will allow us to move forward with planning a beautiful ceremony without the disruption of inclement weather. Please see the updated image below. 

As mentioned before, families will still receive 8 tickets per student and each student will have 2 parking passes. Only cars with official parking passes will be admitted into our Yates campus and EA campus parking lots. These parking lots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. EA campus parking lot will have a shuttle available for those that need/choose to ride. The drop off location to accommodate elderly or handicap guests will be at the front door of the Yates campus. All overflow parking will be at Greater Piney Grove – shuttle will be continuously running for transportation to campus. Please see this slide deck from our parent meeting (with updated parking map). 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We value all our students and families and look forward to celebrating together. Our priority remains to keep the Drew community safe as we plan events and close out this school year.  We look forward to the remaining events that will be indicative of the Drew experience and the contributions your student has brought to the Senior Academy.
