TICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR ENTRANCE TO GRADUATION.
- Please be sure to wear your tickets on lanyards so they can be easily seen.

Be sure to read the complete GRADUATION 2020 SAFETY PROTOCOLS shared by email and available online at www.dbqschools.org/graduation-safety.
We also ask that you pay particular attention to the following:

- Seating will be available in the home and visitor sections, as well as on the field level. PLEASE NOTE: The temperature at the field level is significantly hotter than in the bleacher sections. Please take this into account when selecting seats.
- Guests of a graduate are expected to sit together in the same four-seat section.
