Seniors in the Los Alamitos High School Class of 2020 will have a graduation ceremony, Supt. Andrew Pulver told the Board of Education this week.
Also, a number of activities were scheduled for the Class of 2020 this week, including the distribution of unique yard signs that were given to hundreds of seniors on Friday.
Several hundred cars passed through the school’s parking lot Friday morning, as the parade of seniors were said to be a very happy one as seniors saw manyteachers and each other administrators, even from a distance.
Pulver said the system was looking at three potential dates for graduation ceremonies, including July 25, August 7 or sometime around the Thanksgiving holiday if neither of the earlier options work out (July 27/28).
Pulver said the venue will either be Cerritos College or Vets Stadium, “pending social distancing guidelines and venue availability.”
According to a memo being distributed by the high school, there will be a “virtual wall” established on the gym wall May 20. The seniors will get their yearbooks and their caps and gowns also on May 20, and even a prom is tentatively scheduled for July 18 (at the same venue) from 8 p.m. until midnight.
Promotions were also scheduled for middle and elementary schools. Here are the prospective dates parents were asked to hold:
• July 23, McAuliffe Middle promotion ceremony @7 p.m.
• July 24, Oak Middle School promotion ceremony @7 p.m.
• July 31, Elementary promotion ceremony @ 9 a.m.
• August 31, McAuliffe promotion ceremony @ 9 a.m.
• August 31, Oak Middle school, promotion ceremony @ 7 p.m.
