DINUBA HIGH Continued from page A1
shoot next week that will allow seniors to walk across the stage as they traditionally would — with a few social distancing exceptions.
Students will be invited to Emperor Stadium, by appoint- ment, dressed in cap and gown and are allowed to bring as many as nine family members to both witness and take part in the ceremonial photo shoot. Graduates will walk the same ramp as thousands of seniors have walked over the past sev- eral years. At the end of the ramp, graduates will be handed a replica diploma by the family member of their choice.
In addition to family mem- bers being able to take part in the photo shoot, students will also be given an opportunity to
record a senior message. The photos along with the senior messages will be packaged into a special video tribute for the Class of 2020.
The graduation photo shoot will be held until May 15 and signups for appointments be- gan yesterday, April 29, on the district’s website.
Many of Dinuba High’s se- niors got their first taste of an this unexpected change to the end of the school year when they arrived at the high school’s north parking lot in droves on April 23. Lines of vehicles rolled onto campus to pick up cap and gowns, Grad Night deposits and senior lawn signs or posters.
“It was so nice to see our kids again,” said Dinuba High secretary Michelle Rivera, who helped hand out cap and gowns on April 23.

Made for more healing
New virtual visits make seeing your doctor easier and safer
You were made for more. More healing. More comfort. More peace of mind. More doing what you need to do to take care of yourself and your family. That’s why Adventist Health has launched virtual visits. It’s an easy-to-use, technology-enabled way to visit your doctor by video using a phone, tablet or computer. So, instead of sitting in a waiting room, you can see your doctor from the convenience of your home. It’s a great way for doctors to screen for COVID-19 cases, handle routine visits and manage the chronically-ill, especially as the COVID-19 outbreak intensifies. Plus, it’s reassuring to know virtual visits are covered by most insurance plans.
