SANTA MARIA — Two schools within the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District are moving forward with drive-thru cap and gown distributions.
Pioneer Valley High School on April 28 passed out caps, gowns and a lawn sign to celebrate senior accomplishments.
The social-distancing event took place in front of the administration building. Student pickup times were arranged by last name with volunteers placing the graduation materials in the trunk or back seat of the vehicle.
Righetti High School has planned a similar drive-thru event to issue caps and gowns to seniors from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 8 in the front of the main entrance.
Santa Maria and Delta High Schools are continuing to make decisions on graduation-related plans. Updates will be coming soon.
Meantime, the SMJUHSD is in the process of refunding grad night and PSAT payments.
