Attention anyone planning to attend RSHS graduation this year – here is some important information regarding parking, transportation, and seating at RSHS for graduation ’16
As I am sure you are aware, the bridge on WYO 376, the Belt Loop, closest to the high school is under construction and has been closed for about one month. The likelihood the road is reopened prior to graduation is quite limited, which will put a considerable strain on traffic for graduation. We anticipate a higher number of students ‘walking the line’ this year, which will increase the number of people in attendance at graduation as well. To that end, we will be doing the following:
Transportation: We will be running shuttles (Park and Ride) from 7 different locations. At each location, community can park their car and board a bus, with departure times of 8:30, 9:00 and 9:30am. We will run at least two return times of 11:45 and 12:30. If necessary, we will run a third shuttle to each location.
Park and Ride locations: We will have park and ride from the locations below
1. Northpark Elementary
2. Desert View Elementary
3. Walnut Elementary
4. Westridge Elementary
5. RSJHS/Overland/CAB
6. Catholic Parish Center (633 Bridger)
7. LDS Stake Center building (2055 Edgar St)
Traffic: We have had conversation with RSPD and will have Corporal Jarvie and Sargent Thompson overseeing the traffic control on graduation day. This will allow us to have the smoothest traffic flow possible and enable our bus traffic to flow uninhibited.
Additional seating: We have worked with the Sweetwater Events Complex and will have two additional sections of bleacher seating located in the top lot of the stadium. This will allow us to increase our seating capacity from approximately 3,000 to approximately 3,500.
