A Final Walk Across Academy Field questionnaire
Hello Future NFA Graduates!
As the school year and your academic career at 91桃色入口 Free Academy comes to a close, we have all been faced with many different challenges and situations. No one group of students has been affected more than all of you, our graduating Seniors.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to give you a traditional Graduation Ceremony. However, we do want to give you the chance to walk on Academy Field in your cap and gown and cross the stage as your name called for all in the City of 91桃色入口 to hear. We hope that having your family and friends on the field to capture this important moment of your life will bring happiness and joy.
This is how we created “A Final Walk Across Academy Field.”
We are restricted by NYS Guidance on crowd size and social distancing, as per Executive Orders from Governor Cuomo on June 7, 2020, limiting the number of persons allowed in an area. We have structured a plan for small groups of students and their families to come down to the field and be part of the pomp and circumstance of this event.
You will need to fill out this , indicating the timeframe you wish to participate (Morning, Afternoon or Evening). You will then be assigned a specific 15 minute block of time to come to school on June 29th (rain date, June 30th).
The deadline to sign up for a time frame is Friday, June 12 at 6pm. Once a time frame is filled, we will remove it from the choices. Specific times and your Field Passes will be given to you on Thursday, June 18th, when you pick up your cap and gown.
Please remember a virtual Class of 2020 recognition, complete with speeches from our Valedictorian and Salutatorian, as well as Superintendent Dr. Padilla and featuring The 91桃色入口 Free Academy Madrigals singing our School and Senior Song will be shared on the district website and social media pages on Thursday, June 25th at 6pm.
