Guidelines for Graduation Car Parade

Guidelines for Graduation Car Parade

Class of 2021:
Guidelines for Graduation Car Parade June 26th


All seniors, driven by a household member, should arrive at Ahern Drive by 9:30 AM on Saturday, June 26th. Please enter Ahern Drive from Rte. 94. The police will assist with the line up.

  • It will not be alphabetical.

The placard you received from the district will be your ticket into the parade. Please place it on your dashboard prior to your arrival so that it is easily visible. It must remain on at all times.

Once again, students are not permitted to drive themselves. It is recommended that a person from the student’s household drive the vehicle. We want to avoid unnecessary distracted driving issues. Please do not exit your vehicle at any time along the parade route.

  • Individual automobiles only please- no trailers or attachments.
  • If a graduate does not have transportation for the parade, please contact the principal’s secretary, Mrs. Heins, at 497-4000 ext. 24501.

The parade will begin promptly at 10:00 AM from the Toleman side of Ahern. We will go right on Toleman, loop through Taft Elementary School, back on Toleman, and then onto Decker. At the end of Decker, we will enter Rte. 94, and go through the village until we arrive at our campus.

Lawn signs of the Class of 2021 will line the streets in front of the Middle and High School on the parade route. Graduates may retrieve their lawn signs after the parade concludes if they so choose.

The parade procession will conclude at the front of the high school. Vehicles should continue straight on Route 94 and proceed home. Please do not make a U-turn and proceed back to the village. If you need to head back to the village, you are encouraged to make the left at Pitch and Putt and then use Route 208.

We are hoping to make this a very special celebration for the Class of 2021. So, please do:

  • Decorate your cars.
  • Encourage residents and businesses along the parade route to decorate and cheer on our graduates.
  • Encourage extended family and friends to cheer on our graduates along the parade route off campus (social distancing, of course).
  • Cheer on our first responders who have been our heroes during this crisis.

The parade itself will be led by some of our local first responders so that we may honor them as
well.


We would like to thank the Mayor and the Washingtonville Police Department in advance for all
of their efforts. This is a massive undertaking for our police department, but they, like our district, are committed to making this a very special celebration of the Class of 2021.
