Lockers

Would you like a locker?

If you would like a locker this school year, students will need to request one and provide a combination lock. Students may request one with the campus monitors in the morning before school. The last day to get a locker this block is Friday, August 28th.

Vehicle Registration

Students who are parking a vehicle on campus need to pick up a parking registration form from the VP office or Principal's office. Once completed and returned, they will be given a parking pass to hang in their vehicle. Campus monitors will begin checking for parking passes after the Labor Day weekend so be sure to take care of this in the next 3 weeks.

San Juan Unified School District will host a free, walk-in volunteer fingerprinting clinic on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the District Office Board Room.
