Important message from Mr. Cobb

Good afternoon,

I hope this email finds you and your family healthy and well.  Please take some time and read the information below as it contains valuable information about many end of the year events.  

Locker Cleanout- I have created a schedule for students to come to DPHS to clean out their lockers  and return the various items they have.  We will be collecting textbooks, calculators, athletic equipment, library books, musical instruments, Chromebooks for Seniors only, and any other school owned item that needs to be returned.   This schedule has been developed to limit the amount of students in the building at a  given time.  Students will be required to have a face covering to enter the building to retrieve their belongings.  Please reference the chart below which shows when students can come to DPHS to complete this. Please use the first two letters of your last name and your grade for your time slot.  

Senior Prom - We will be postponing the Senior Prom to Friday July 24th.  Please know that we are hoping that this event will occur in July, but the decisions on large gatherings within the county and state are out of our control.  Further information about the prom will be shared by our class of 2020 advisors Mrs. LaCova & Mr. Johntry.  

Senior Awards - We will be releasing a Google Slideshow on Thursday June 11th.  At the event, thousands of dollars will be awarded to our seniors due to the generosity of our local businesses, community organizations and generous individuals.  We also recognize academic accomplishments for the Class of 2020.  Further information about this event will be sent home to the recipients of these awards.  

Graduation - We will hold graduation on June 26th at 6:00 P.M. as planned.  We are planning for a traditional commencement outside on the DPHS football field.  We will utilize as much field space as necessary to maintain adequate social distancing for our graduates and attendees. We will require all in attendance to wear a face covering.  We will be limiting the number of guests to two per graduate.  No exceptions will be made to the number of guests allowed.  

In the event the restrictions on social gatherings, which is currently in place by NYS and Suffolk County officials, are not eased or lifted by June 19th, we will be hosting a drive thru graduation.  We are in the process of securing a date and venue for this event.  As soon as the details are finalized for this I will communicate them to you.  

Signs for Seniors - The various Deer Park PFC’s have generously donated money for the district to provide a lawn sign for every member of the class of 2020.  Deer Park High School staff will be delivering these signs to homes on June 2nd with a rain date of June  3rd.  You will receive more information from me in the next few days about this.  

Cap and Gown & Yearbook Distribution - I am in the process of developing a “drive thru” type of pickup for these items.  DPHS staff will be present to celebrate our class of 2020.  This will occur on June 22nd, with a rain date of June 23rd.  More details to follow on this senior event.  

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in regards to the items addressed above.  As always, if you need any clarification on any of these items or have any questions please feel free to email me directly at your earliest convenience.  Thank you again and have an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
