THIS INFORMATION ADDED MAY 14TH:OUTDOOR GRADUATION 2019 - PARKING, HANDICAP, ENTRANCE, SEATING   Seniors, Family, and Guests: In an effort to minimize questions, concerns, and frustrations on graduation evening, we want to give you as much information as possible in advance regarding parking, handicap accommodations, and entrance gates. Copies of this information will be sent out via email and given to every senior at graduation practice. Spread the word to all

family and friends who will be attending graduation on May 17. PARKING: NOTE - STADIUM DRIVE WILL BE CLOSED TO "THROUGH" TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, THE GATE FROM BEL-AIR SUBDIVISION WILL BE "OPEN" FOR GUESTS WANTING TO PARK BEHIND THE HOME BLEACHERS OR BETWEEN SOFTBALL/BASEBALL FIELDS IN ORDER TO SIT ON THE HOME SIDE BLEACHERS. The following 6 parking areas will be available on the DHS campus:                             1. Front of building. 2. East side parking lot. 3. Rear of building. 4. Grass area between baseball/softball fields. The baseball/softball driveways will serve as the entry point to the grass parking area between baseball and softball fields. (Traffic Control personnel will be in place to assist in this area.) 5. Upper Parking Lot/Baseball Parking Lot (paved) near baseball stadium outfield fence. The first 11 spots in this Upper Parking Lot will be RESERVED FOR HANDICAP PARKING, along with many more additional paved parking spaces. (Traffic Control personnel will be in place to assist in this area). 6. Home Side Parking Lots--both paved and grass lots. (In the event of extremely wet conditions, this grass area could be roped off and unusable.) 11 RESERVED HANDICAP PARKING SPACES are available behind the Home bleachers with many other paved spaces in the area.

HANDICAP SEATING: Guests with walkers and wheelchairs have reserved parking and seating areas on BOTH the Home and Visitor sides of the stadium. One advantage of using handicap seating on the VISITOR SIDE is that handicap persons will have access to the track and field after graduation to be with the graduates.

Just exit back out the entrance gate, turn left, and go down the paved driveway to the Players Gate and onto the track. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOME SIDE BLEACHERS DO NOT ALLOW PERSONS IN WHEELCHAIRS AND WALKERS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE TRACK AND PLAYING FIELD AFTER GRADUATION.

ENTRANCE GATES: THERE WILL BE ONLY 2 ENTRANCE GATES into stadium seating.1. VISTOR SIDE MAIN GATE: Guests who want to sit on the VISITOR SIDE will use the one and only gate at the rear of that bleacher area. The Visitor Side bleachers, just like the Home Side bleachers, will have a quality "side view" of the ceremony since graduates are seated facing the South end zone. As stated above, the Visitor Side is also recommended for handicapped persons who wish to have the possibility of handicap access to the track and field after graduation. There will be both regular and handicap-accessible restroom facilities on the Visitor Side.

2. HOME SIDE MAIN GATE: ALL GUESTS WANTING TO SIT IN THE HOME SIDE BLEACHERS should plan on entering campus through the BEL-AIR SUBDIVISION GATE on Stadium Drive and park behind the Home side bleachers. Guests who want to sit in the HOME bleachers may also park in Front, Back and East side parking lots but should plan on "walking around" the South end of the stadium on Stadium Dr. to the Home gate. Guests WILL NOT be allowed to enter the Visitor Gate and walk around either of the "end zone" areas to get to the HOME side. Note: The Home Side bleachers WILL accommodate wheelchairs and walkers and there WILL be a designated and reserved area for handicap

seating in the HOME SIDE bleachers, BUT THERE WILL NOT BE HANDICAP ACCESS TO THE "FOOTBALL FIELD" AFTER GRADUATION FROM THE HOME SIDE BLEACHERS. There WILL be both regular and handicap-accessible restroom facilities for people on the HOME SIDE.

Note: At the conclusion of the program, family and guests on both the Home and Visitor sides are invited to come down and be with the graduates on the field. No family/guests will be allowed on the track or football field until AFTER the program has concluded.

Note: Due to the construction design of the new Home Side bleachers, family and guests on Home Side who wish to come down to the field after the ceremony MUST EXIT THE BLEACHERS FROM THE FRONT-RIGHT AND FRONT-LEFT STAIRS ONLY. Exiting to the rear of the Home bleachers leads only to the parking lot!

INDOOR GRADUATION – GYM – 2019 - PARKING, SEATING, ENTRANCE, HANDICAP PARKING, ETC.: The same 6 parking areas for Outdoor Graduation are also available for INDOOR GRADUATION. HANDICAP PARKING: In the event of INDOOR graduation, we will reserve the LOWER PARKING LOT (immediately behind the gym) for Handicap Parking. In addition, guests needing Handicap Parking may park in our Bus Lane that runs along the ENTIRE EAST SIDE COVERED WALKWAY. Traffic Control personnel will be on site to assist and direct in those areas.

HANDICAP SEATING:Guests with walkers, wheelchairs, and the elderly will have a reserved seating area ON THE GYM FLOOR RIGHT BEHIND THE GRADUATES. We are reserving this area strictly for elderly or handicapped individuals in walkers/wheelchairs who cannot access bleacher seating. This area is NOT designed to seat entire families. However, there will only be chairs for 1 or 2 family members to accompany. This area will be available on a first come/first served basis. We recommend that these guests arrive early--Door opens at 5:30 pm. There will be faculty members available in this area to provide assistance. Handicap accessible restrooms are available in the lobby of the new gym entrance. ENTRANCE DOOR:

There will only be 1 ENTRANCE DOOR AVAILABLE TO GUESTS. That will be the NEW GYM ENTRANCE located behind the gym. NO other entrance will be available to guests. Graduates will enter the Commons from the East Entrance BUT parents, family and friends will NOT be allowed to enter at the East Entrance.  PLEASE NOTE: A TICKET MUST BE PRESENTED AT THE EXTERIOR DOOR IN ORDER TO ENTER THE GYM LOBBY. PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER THE LOBBY WITHOUT A TICKET.DOOR WILL OPEN AT 5:30 PM.  Guests are encouraged to arrive early enough to find a seat in the bleachers BEFORE the seniors begin to march at 6:55 PM. Once seniors start the Processional, guests will NOT be able

to access HOME side seating until all the graduates are IN and SEATED. ADMISSION TICKETS:

On Thursday at graduation practice each graduate will receive 7 ADMISSION TICKETS for family and friends. Graduates who need more are encouraged to talk to other classmates who may not need all 7 of their tickets. EACH PERSON, EVEN BABIES AND TODDLERS, WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A TICKET. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN EXCEPTION TO MADE AT THE DOOR. IT WILL NOT BE GRANTED!! GUEST PICTURE TAKING AND VIDEO: Guests will NOT be allowed access to the gym floor or be allowed to stand at the bottom rail of the bleachers during the ceremony for picture taking or video purposes. This must be done from your seat. NO SIGNS, BANNERS, BALLOONS, ETC:

Signs and balloons will NOT be permitted INDOORS. The gym is too crowded and these items block the view of people sitting behind them. ALL SIGNS, BANNERS, BALLOONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED INTO THE LOBBY AREA. THEY WILL HAVE TO BE LEFT OUTSIDE THE BUILDING BEFORE ENTERING.
