Graduation

Dear Parents,

As we look ahead to the winter trimester, it is time to start planning for your son’s graduation this coming June. At this point, we are optimistic that we will be able to host an in-person Commencement, as our ceremony is unique and special in so many ways. Honoring the members of the Sixth Form and their families, our two-day celebration is truly a signature event for Salisbury School.

At the same time, we are also working on contingency plans in the event that the ever-changing landscape of the pandemic requires us to pivot. As we get closer, we will keep you informed of the nature of our plans. That said, on the basis of optimism, we encourage all families to book room reservations in the area if you have not done so already. In order to assist you in this process, we have attached a list of some hotels in the area, but there are many other accommodations that can be found through Air B&B and VRBO, or other websites.

REMEMBER TO BOOK NOW!

Thursday, June 3, 2021 – Pre-Graduation Luncheon and Award Ceremony
