April 30, 2021
Dear Parents,
We wanted to give you an update on several items for you to be aware of regarding Graduation and year end information.
1. Graduation Update:
Graduation is being held at the Rio Tinto Stadium, 9256 S. State Street, Sandy, UT on May 26, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Graduates will need to be at the stadium dressed in their Cap, Gown, and Stoles ready to go by 8:00 a.m. Graduates will enter at the Southwest gate and guests will enter the stadium through the west gates. All guests will need to go through security, so please allow enough time as your bags will be checked.
There will be no tickets required for graduation. There will be plenty of seating. There will be live streaming of the ceremony and a link will be available prior to the ceremony.
Parking will be limited. An arrangement has been made with Jordan Commons for overflow parking if needed. They have about 300 stalls they will allow us to use in the NORTH LOT, LOWER TWO LEVELS ONLY! There is NOT an arrangement with the Expo Center. People will park there at their own risk. Again, please allow plenty of time to park and walk to the stadium.
MASKS ARE REQUIRED for all Graduates, Faculty & Staff, and Patrons at Rio Tinto Stadium. This is a League Mandate!
Rio Tinto has a Clear bag policy. Any bags that are not clear will not be allowed into the stadium. No food is allowed. Only factory-sealed water bottles will be allowed.
Please refer to the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rio Tinto. Remember that there will be fines assessed and removal from the stadium if any rules are violated.
No umbrellas are allowed as they block the view from other guests.
Follow the attached link for the most up to date information regarding Graduation.

Final Cap & Gown Distribution for those students that have not yet been cleared for graduation or have their fees paid will be after the Mandatory Graduation practice on May 24th from 10-12 noon in the Auditorium Lobby.
Black Stoles will be distributed to all Graduates on May 24th after the Mandatory Graduation Practice. A Senior Panoramic picture will be taken of the Class of 2021 following the practice. The stoles will be collected as the graduates leave the Rio Tinto Stadium following graduation.
3. Senior Photo Opportunity:
We will not be able to take pictures at the Rio Tinto Stadium after graduation, so we encourage you to take photos beforehand. On May 18th, there will be a Senior/Graduate photo opportunity available in the auditorium, and Commons area, with the fuselage and Aviator backdrop prior to the ceremony from 4-6 p.m. and immediately after, from 7:30-8:30 p.m. This is a great time for you to take pictures of your Seniors wearing their Cap & Gowns.
