Graduation Information

** Grads – keep checking the Graduation D2L page for new information!

Update June 10th, 2021

We are excited to announce that our Graduation 2021 lawn signs, special gift from Assumption C.S.S. and any ordered Graduation 2021 swag are currently arriving at the school and we are inviting our grade 12 students to pick up their items from Wednesday, June 16 to Friday, June 18, 2021 from 11:45 – 1:45 p.m. No appointment is required. Upon arrival, students will line up at Door 1, scan a QR code in order to provide contact tracing information and follow staff direction to enter the building. Social distancing norms will be adhered to and public health requirements, listed below, will be followed. To avoid backlog, cars are requested to enter through the Woodward Ave entrance and exit through Cumberland.

A Graduation 2021 celebration is being held on Monday, June 28, 2021 between 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

By appointment only, students and families are invited to come to the school to pick up their diploma, say good-bye to Assumption and take a few pictures. Families will have the choice of arriving in a vehicle or on foot.

If walking, families will have a specific window of attendance. Please note, vehicles will not be permitted during walkthrough periods.

If driving, and to help with traffic flow, vehicles will only be allowed to enter through the Woodward Ave. entrance and exit through Cumberland Ave. Family members must arrive and remain together as photo opportunities are for families only.

We encourage all students to attend and pick up their diploma in person. If you are unable to pick up the diploma on June 28th, please contact the office and make other arrangements to do so.
