The Weekly Connection
Updates from the Principal's Office - October 2nd, 2022
Message from Mrs. Jones
During the month of October, we have the privilege of highlighting and celebrating many things, all of which are important opportunities for students and families to connect with campus!
October marks:
- The "Kickoff to College & Career" with a month of activities related to preparing for what comes next
- Homecoming and the many celebrations related to spirit week, cheering on our extracurricular programs, and the first dance of the school year
- Red Ribbon Week, where students are provided opportunities to educate themselves on the dangers associated with substance use, as well as how to access support for substance abuse
Be sure to ask your student about these and other events as they happen throughout the month. If you have any questions about activities occurring during this next month, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!
Community Support & Student Safety Request:
If you drive your student to and from school each day, please help us to support safe access to all through the following:
- When you're in the drop-off and pick-up lines, you are often driving alongside student drivers, some of whom are new drivers. Please be patient, kind, and alert.
- Stopping to drop your student on the red curb on Stagecoach Lane is illegal and creates a hazardous driving environment for fellow drivers, as well as your own student.
- Pulling all the way forward in the drop-off line helps to reduce the traffic on Stagecoach and keeps things moving at a more reasonable pace.
- Students are not released from classes until the bell, so most will not be at the pick-up area until at least a few minutes after the end of the school day. If you arrive early, please do not block access to the parking lot gates, or traffic flow on Stagecoach Lane. Both create hazardous conditions for other drivers, but even more so for emergency vehicles moving through the area.
Thank you for your help and support in ensuring safety for our students and their families each day!
Reminders:
- Student Checkout: Student attendance each day is incredibly important. At the high school level, it is especially important that students attend all classes each day. If your student needs to leave before the end of the day, please keep in mind that students will not be called out of school during the last 15 minutes of the day (this and other attendance-related procedures are detailed on page 15 of the Student/Parent Handbook).
Please take a moment to review the "Resources" section available below. If there is something you need, please feel free to reach out by telephone at (760) 723-6300 x3110, x3102, or x3103 or by email through our website.
Let's make this a great week, Warriors!
