please refrain from honking your horn as you near the podium. • Be sure to place the yellow placard that you received with your cap & gown on the passenger side

dashboard of your car as you arrive at the Sharon Train Station Parking lot and leave it there throughout the procession to and through the driveway at Sharon High School on June 7th.

• Graduates and their families should stay in their cars at all times. • Graduates will be seated in the front passenger seat. • The procession has been set up so that each graduate will travel in separate cars.

o If more than one graduate will be traveling in the same car, please notify Mr. Pomer and Mr. Olsen. In this situation, each graduate should be seated on the passenger side of the vehicle (front and rear seat). Both placards identifying the student(s) by name should be placed on the passenger side dashboard.

• Everyone attending graduation is required to wear face masks and maintain appropriate social distance. o Unfortunately, the custom face masks ordered by the Class of 2020 will not arrive in time for

graduation so please be sure to provide your own. Your arrival at the Sharon Train Station
