BETTENDORF, Iowa — Bettendorf High School has canceled its 2020 graduation ceremony due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The school was determining a way to hold a ceremony for the Class of 2020, but after consulting with the Scott County Health Department, decided to give up on the idea.
"Please know this decision was not made lightly, and I am very sorry for the disappointment both the graduates and their families are experiencing," says Principal Joy Kelly.
Parents/guardians of 2020 graduates are asked to complete a one-question survey emailed to them to help the district determine whether they will mail out diplomas or host a drive-through event on August 1st.
