Dear Families of Graduating Students,
We appreciate your patience as we work through the unfortunate impact of this week’s weather. Because of the recent rain, we will not be able to park families on the grassy areas outside of the stadium as we typically do.
We are offering the following recommendations for Commencement parking:
· Whenever possible, please carpool
· Consider using rideshare services such as Uber, LYFT, or local cab companies
· Please allow plenty of time to arrive at and park for Commencement. Commencement begins promptly at 6:00 p.m.
· We offer special parking for individuals who are handicapped in the lots closet to the stadium. Handicapped parking with a golf cart shuttle to the stadium does take some time, so it is best to arrive early.
· The internal road is closed to attendees. Please enter the campus at the light on Hood Boulevard.
When attendees arrive at PHS East Campus for parking, they will be directed by our Security Team. We will fill the lots closest to the school, including Village Park Academy, first.
Self-directed or “open parking” can be found at the following locations.
· Yatzko Field lot
· Queen Anne lot
· Four parking lots at PHS West Campus
· Streets surrounding the campus
PHS administration is also pleased to announce that the graduation ceremony will be livestreamed in order to be viewed by family and friends who are not able to join us in person. The events will be aired on YouTube. Please follow the link in order to view the ceremony: Graduation: Thursday, June 10th. The links are also available on the Pennsbury High School website under Senior Information.
We understand that this is a special and exciting time for all of our families. We thank you for braving the weather issues with us.
