The high school seniors can have their proms and graduation ceremonies in the summertime, if this pandemic has passed by then.
Maybe this year they’ll even learn that life has setbacks and disappointments, but everything can still work out in the end.
That’s what I’m telling my daughter as she is freaking out that her son (honors student) won’t be recognized at graduation. I feel they will have a ceremony after this passes.
It won’t be a real crisis for teens until their phone dies.

I hope the parents of the graduating seniors tell their kids about that...It is a good advice for seniors...
I am hoping and praying you are right. Our schools had been cancelled till the first part of May...then it was revised to cancelled for the year. I have twin grandsons who are seniors. They are also ball players. I have watched these boys play baseball since they were 5 yrs old. Getting better and better with each passing year. It broke my heart for them when school cancelled their ball season after only getting to play about 6 games this year. And the same night their last ball game was played, they found out the prom was cancelled too. Scott’s girlfriend had just picked her dress up from getting altered that afternoon. The look of disappointment in her face brought tears to my eyes. It was not long after all that when school for the year was cancelled. So many memories, and fun times they should have experienced were snatched away in a blink of the eye. Yes, I am praying when this is over, they will still have a prom.....and a graduation ceremony....and be able to make some good memories of what was supposed to be the best year of high school for them.
I’m in CA. Several school districts around me have recently sent out notifications that graduations and proms for seniors will still happen—but deep into the summer. A sensible solution I think.
I have a graduating (college) senior; I’m hoping the college does something similar.
