Senior Parents/Guardians, I am writing to give you another update in regards to the Class of 2021 graduation and events.

Below is a list of the scheduled events: Senior Mother’s Tea – Friday, May 7 th at 10:00 am Senior Awards Night – Tuesday, June 1 st at 6:00 pm Senior Father’s Breakfast – Friday, June 4 th at 8:00 am Senior Trip – Thursday, June 3 rd Graduation – Saturday, June 5 th at 12:00 pm We are planning to have an on-campus graduation. The exact location and the number of guests will depend on the updated guidance. I appreciate your flexibility and patience during this time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Dracy McCoy – Principal dmccoy@winlock.wednet.edu
