Senior Communication:

May 25, 2021


Here is a bulleted list of What to Expect at Graduation on Saturday, June 12th at the Collins Perley Sports Complex:

  • The decision will be made on Friday, June 11th if graduation is an outdoor or indoor event. An alert call/message will be sent to seniors and families.

  • Seniors are to arrive at the Complex at 10 am and promptly report to the rink to line up.

  • Seniors should arrive with their cap and gown on. 

  • Please ride with your families to limit the number of vehicles for parking. Traffic in and around CPSC is congested. Carpooling is encouraged.

  • Once families have parked, they will be directed to the stadium field registration area for check-in. Please have your (4) tickets ready to present.  If it is raining, you will be directed inside the Complex and will display your (2) tickets at the registration area. Once registration is complete, you will be ushered to the socially distanced seating area.

  • If you have special accessibility requirements, please ensure that an usher assists you.

  • Current spacing and mask requirements

    • Adults should still be seated six feet from one another to the best of your ability. If the seating is indoors, guests must wear masks. If the seating is outdoors, guests can remove masks if seated at least six feet from one another.

    • All seniors must be spaced a minimum of 3 feet apart to the extent possible.

    • Seniors will be receiving special masks that have the BFA graduation logo at no cost. Facial coverings may be removed while delivering speeches, accepting diplomas, and for photos.

  • At 11 am, the seniors will march in, be seated and the commencement begins.

  • Whipple Photography will be set up near the diploma stage and will take photos of the graduates receiving diplomas and a pose prior to leaving the stage. BFA is purchasing one 5x7 photo for each graduate which will be mailed home. Additional photo packages will be available for families to purchase. I will send the link for that site as soon as it is available.

  • Another photo opportunity will be located on the Northside of the Complex (when exiting the tennis courts), field paint is being used to display a Congratulations message to the Class of 2021. This could occur at your leisure any time after graduation.


Also, VERY IMPORTANT, here is the link to the Graduation Pre-registration Form that MUST be completed by May 31, 2021:
