GRADUATION UPDATE: Due to the weather forecast, we have determined that Beebe School District will start Class of 2023 Graduation ceremonies at 𝟔:𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐦 at 𝐁𝐫𝐨 𝐄𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦. At 6:00, there is only a 15% chance of rain, and keeping the Graduation at the Stadium is the best option to ensure all family and friends are able to attend. We realize this may cause some strain on families' time schedules, and we do apologize for this inconvenience. However, this will allow us to avoid forecasted rain later in the evening and keep the event open to all who want to attend. If you are unable to attend the ceremony live, we will have a live stream of Graduation. You can access it at either of the following links: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 - 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗯𝗶𝘁.𝗹𝘆/𝗯𝗵𝘀𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 & 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸 - 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗳𝗯.𝗺𝗲/𝗲/𝗦𝟭𝘄𝗞𝗣𝗽𝗻𝗦 Thank you for your understanding.

Please view this update regarding Graduation from Dr. Nail: Good morning, As you know, the Class of 2023 is preparing to celebrate High School Graduation! This is a special time for both our students and their families. Graduating our Seniors at Bro Erwin Stadium is the best scenario for our students, their families, and our community. Due to the fluctuating chance of rain on Friday, we are monitoring the weather conditions closely. With this in mind, we will consider the following three (3) options in preparation for Graduation: 1. We will keep the Graduation ceremony as planned, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Bro Erwin Stadium. 2. If the forecast calls for elevated chances of rain during the scheduled time of 7:30 p.m., we will move the start time to 6:00 p.m. I know this option may place some stress on family schedules, but it will allow us to keep Graduation at Bro Erwin Stadium. 3. Our final option will be moving the ceremony indoors to Badger Arena at the regularly scheduled time of 7:30 p.m. As you know, this will limit the number of family and community members who are able to attend. If we are forced to use this option, we will provide a livestream of the ceremony in the Auditorium for overflow guests to attend. The administration is monitoring the situation. We will announce final plans by Noon on Friday, May 19th. We understand this will be short notice, but these are the options we have at this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
