Schoolcraft Community Schools Senior Car Parade Friday, June 12, 2020 LINE-UP: 6:30 P.M. 6:50 P.M. - SHS Bus Loop (enter and drive forward to line up, keeping one car length between vehicles) START: 7:00 P.M. - See map below for route ROUTE: See map for details and be on the lookout for familiar faces during the parade. END: Roy David Field ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Schoolcraft Community Schools is excited to celebrate the SHS Class of 2020 with a car parade. This event is highlighting your path to graduation while providing those who guided your journey to graduation an opportunity to share their excitement and enthusiasm for our graduates’ accomplishments. Given the current climate for gatherings, all participants in the parade must remain in their vehicles during the line-up. When graduates and their drivers reach Roy Davis Field, they must remain in the car as you are greeted by Dr. Stitt and Mr. Dailey. The parade will be Live Streamed to share this celebration with those who cannot attend over FacebookLive on the SCS Facebook page. Participants are encouraged to decorate their car with Purple and Gold to show your school spirit. While we are celebrating our Seniors, the Village of Schoolcraft’s Police Department and SCS have the following guidelines to keep this event safe for all participants: Each graduate needs to arrange for a driver with one graduate per car. The graduate should sit in the passenger seat and refrain from cruising out of a sunroof or riding in the bed of a truck. The speed limit will be maintained below ten miles per hour to offer. During the parade, all drivers should maintain a car length’s distance between vehicles. Spectators have designated areas for viewing in order to respect social distancing guidelines and to ensure they are positioned on the passenger side of the parade route so their cheers and applause is seen and heard by our Seniors. Please ensure decorations are placed for the driver to have an unobstructed view of the road and do not cover any mirrors.

This post is to serve as public notice for the location of the June 8 board meeting. This will now be an online meeting through Zoom. Use the link below for full details including how to join the online meeting. Posting Link: https://5il.co/gyks

Material pick up is going VERY well! If you are scheduled to pick up at one of the 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 hours feel free to come at any of those times when it is convenient for you. (This includes incoming kindergarten/young 5 families). The 5:00-6:00 time will still serve as the catch all for those that couldn't make it this morning or afternoon.
