SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUESTS

Counselors are hard at work reviewing hundreds of requests and determining if changes are valid and possible. Students will see updates to their schedule in Q or presented with a revised hard copy schedule. Counselors have until the 10th day of instruction to review and complete schedule change requests. The last day to submit a schedule change request is August 27, 2025.

INFO & APPOINTMENTS:

Calkids.org is the website for CalKIDS, a California state-funded scholarship program launched in 2022 to assist children with college savings. CalKIDS will provide each child born in California and eligible low-income public school students free money for college education and career training! To learn more and claim your student's CalKIDS account, go to Calkids.org and enter the student's Statewide Student Identifier (SSID). The SSID can be found in the San Juan Student Portal under Student Identifiers > State Student ID, or in the San Juan Parent Portal under Student Identifiers > State Student ID.

Attention all El Camino students! The Recycling Club is starting soon. Looking for a super easy way to bank community service hours? Or just looking for a way to get involved in school clubs/activities? Want to help out or give back to the community? Whatever the reason is, the Recycling Club is a great way to do all of these things.

Key information:

• Meets weekly, right after school in Room S-9
• First meeting is on Wednesday, August 20th, right after school (Room S-9)
• Fixed meeting schedule will be announced at the first meeting
• Flexible & Fast: Club runs for approximately 30 minutes each week (usually ends around 3:45 to 3:50 p.m.); you are not required to come to every meeting (come when you want)
• Easy way to bank community service hours, even if you don’t need them now (everyone, regardless of whether you need them or not, can get community service hours from participating)

Have any questions? See Mr. Tompkins in Room S-9. We hope to see you there!
