Enhanced Safety and Security Protocols for RVA Moving On & Graduation Ceremonies:)
At RVA, all attendees must have pre-registered and/or have a ticket (graduation). No bags will be permitted into the ceremony except for a clear gallon-sized, zip-lock bag or similarly sized clear tote that may be used for personal care items for infants and toddlers, keys, and cell phones, or a clear travel tote. RPS schools will not provide zip-lock bags; they must be brought by the attendee. All attendees including students, family members, visiting RPS staff, and any other guests will go through the metal detectors at the main doors, and may be screened/searched by security personnel. No outside food or drinks will be permitted, including water bottles. No weapons of any kind (including knives) or illegal substances will be permitted in the venue. No balloons, flowers, or amplified sound devices such as bull horns will be permitted inside the venue. All minor children must be accompanied by an adult. Absolutely no loitering will be permitted in the venue, outside of the venue, or in the parking lots during or after the ceremonies. Again, these additional protocols are in place to help enhance our security measures for all. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe:). Hoot Hoot!!
