Turtle River School Division announced earlier this week that they they’ve postponed their graduation ceremonies until the fall.
Just like Mountain View School Division, Bev Szymesko says it was the right thing to do
"I had a meeting with the principals and it was a very difficult decision for us," said Szymesko, Superintendent of the Turtle River School Division. "We just felt it was the prudent decision, we don't know what anything will look like in June."
The postponement will affect roughly 45-55 students across TRSD that were set to graduate.
Szymesko understands that graduates may be going through a tough time; however, she assures there will be a time to celebrate.
"The school principals, the students, and their parents will plan graduation moving forward," she continued. "We didn't cancel anything, we just pushed things back until the fall."
The date for graduation will be decided by each school.
School principals will be contacting families of grade 12 students and will also be available to answer any questions or concerns.
