The entire Socrates-D\u00e9mosth\u00e8ne staff is working rigorously during these last few weeks of school, attending to all educational and administrative matters, and at the same time we are deeply involved in preparations for the next school year of 2020-2021. MEES has confirmed that the last day of formal teaching this school year will be on Friday the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0of June.\u00a0The pedagogical days of 6 and 12 (19) June have been cancelled. These will be regular school days instead.\u00a0Our teachers and principals are currently reviewing the guidelines provided by MEES in reference to evaluations. This information will be communicated to you in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since our School will not be able to hold its Graduation Gala this year, we have examined numerous options in providing our Graduating Class of 2020 their diplomas and achievement awards. In collaboration with our Parent Grad Committees, each campus will organize local activities, respecting the Public Health guidelines, towards this end. The families of all our graduates will receive all necessary information in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for our student\u2019s belongings, there will\u00a0be\u00a0further\u00a0opportunities, by invitation, for parents to pick\u00a0them\u00a0up from school.
