Chilliwack – With the lock down and social distancing all from COVID-19, sadly, we could all see this coming. As with other school districts, Chilliwack Public Schools have had to cancel graduation ceremonies for obvious safety reasons.
Willow Reichelt, SD33 School Trustee posted to social media: Grads of 2020, I am so sorry that you are not going to get the kind of graduation experience you deserve after your 13 years of education. Cancelling traditional grad events is necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to save lives, but it is obviously hugely disappointing. As the letter below states, SD33 staff are working to find ways to honour this milestone for you while also ensuring safety. Just know that no matter what the year-end celebrations look like, all of us are very proud of you.
Trustee David Swankey:
The official letter to students and parents is below:
