Although the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District was originally planning to hold their graduations at Weather Tech Raceway – Laguna Seca….those ceremonies are now scheduled to be held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. A change in the Covid-19 guidance about students and their families has lead to not only the change in venue, but how the celebrations will be conducted. The graduations are now slated to take place June 1st…..and look more like a traditional graduation ceremony….except for facial coverings being required, and the social distancing.
Each graduate will be allowed up to four guests, who are living in the same household, to be seated together in a pod distanced 6 feet apart from any other family pod. All graduates and guests must adhere to social distancing guidelines and they must wear a facial covering at all times (unless a graduate is taking it off for the photo opportunity after crossing the stage and receiving a diploma).
Friends and family who cannot attend in-person can go on-line to: the.mpusd.net/mpusdtv to watch the ceremonies streaming live.
