• Dear Parents and Guardians,

    I want to inform you of an unexpected change regarding our upcoming graduation ceremonies. State Farm Stadium notified us last week that a larger event is taking precedence, requiring us to adjust our plans. This situation has impacted multiple school districts, and we are not the only district being asked to relocate.

    While I understand this may be disappointing, our District remains committed to creating a memorable celebration for our graduates and their families. We have been working diligently to secure a new venue and date to accommodate our ceremonies.

    Updated Graduation Details

    New Date: Monday, May 12, 2025

    New Location: Desert Diamond Arena 9400 W Maryland Ave. Glendale

    Ceremony Times: To be determined and shared by principals on February 17

    To support our graduates, the last day of school for seniors will be Friday, May 9. Additionally, there will be no school for all grade levels Districtwide on Monday, May 12, to allow staff and the graduates families  the opportunity to attend the ceremonies. This District Wide calendar adjustment will help ensure a smooth and stress-free celebration for all.

    Additional details regarding adjustments to the schedule for testing, awards banquets, and other end-of-year events will be shared by principals on February 17.

    I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause and appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unexpected situation. Our commitment to honoring our graduates in a meaningful way remains unwavering, and we look forward to celebrating this special milestone together.

    Thank you for your support.

    Sincerely,
    Mark Yslas
    Superintendent
