Class of 2020
A note to the Class of 2020
The Senior year is supposed to be one full of memories to last a lifetime. I know that this has not turned out to be the year that we all expected and that a lot has changed in a short amount of time- I am sorry that your Senior year has not been what you expected or what you deserve. You have worked hard to get here and deserve all of the fun and fanfare of this final year.
We understand that this is difficult and are committed to maintain as much as is possible.
Out of an abundance of caution for your health as well as the health of your guests and in light of the current stay at home orders and social distancing guidelines by the CDC, we will be moving the date of the graduation ceremony to Saturday, June 13. The ceremony will still be held at TIAA Bank Field in Downtown Jacksonville at 11:30 a.m. A Senior Awards ceremony will be held the previous evening at 6:00 p.m. at TIAA Bank Field.
Should the CDC and the City of Jacksonville still have limitations on gatherings on this date, we will find an alternative date. However, please be assured that no matter what, we will be having a graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020.
All of us at San Jose are dedicated to ensuring that you not only have a ceremony, but that you have a beautiful ceremony that truly honors you and all you have done to achieve this milestone. I can't wait to see all of you...walking down the aisle in your caps and gowns!
Love,
Mrs. Knapp

Grad Bash
You can choose to have a full refund for what you’ve paid for Grad Bash. Or, you can choose to instead accept the Universal Studios Park Ticket that will enable you to visit the park with the same discount you were getting with Grad Bash, any time before December 18th, 2020. The ticket price is $101.99, and includes access to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, as well as a Universal meal plan. The regular price for this is $174.00 plus tax and $25.99 for the dining plan, so the ticket you would be getting is about $100 off regular price. Universal has also offered Seniors the ability to purchase extra tickets at this price for chaperones to go with you – so you can accept the one you’ve already purchased through your package and buy additional ones for parents at the same price, if you’d like.
We were also discussing the possibility of organizing a day in the summer for anyone who wants to attend, so that students can still have the opportunity to attend with their friends. This would not be a required date, but rather a suggested date for anyone who is interested. You would still be able to accept the ticket and make separate plans with your family on a different date.
So that we can respect the wishes of our Seniors and families, we’d like to find out what option you would prefer. Seniors were sent a survey to complete. Please fill out the survey with your preferences and let us know if you have any questions.
*If you haven’t already paid for Grad Bash, but would now like to purchase one of these discounted tickets, complete the survey and indicate this on the last question*
