The district has a plan A for outdoor graduation and plan B for indoor graduation, according to the district website. If weather is nice, graduation will be held outdoors at Porter Stadium at Lockport East. There will be two separate ceremonies based on the hybrid learning alphabetical split, according to the website.

If weather is bad, all students will be assigned an arrival time and place, according to the district website. The graduate and their two guests will process with them through the building; the graduate will cross the stage in the auditorium; and then all will exit the building.
