Principal's Message

Hello Parents and Students,

You may have noticed a change in the grade that is highlighted on your dashboard, course report, and progress report.

Your Course Report now reflects your Actual Grade, which includes all past-due or missing assignments calculated as zeros. Previously, the dashboard displayed your Overall Grade, which only calculated completed assignments and did not provide a full picture of academic standing.

If you are completely caught up in a class, your Actual Grade and Overall Grade will match.
If your Actual Grade is lower than your Overall Grade, it indicates that you have past-due assignments that need to be submitted to improve your score.

Attendance Deadline: Month 2

The second attendance month concludes this Friday, October 2nd. Students are required to achieve a minimum of 90% attendance (18 out of 19 days), which is earned through coursework completion. If you are currently behind, please use this week to get fully caught up!

Attendance Notification Letters

If a student does not meet the 90% attendance requirement by the end of this attendance month, an official Attendance Notification will be emailed to parents from the principal. This notification ensures compliance with legal requirements for independent study programs.

To remain eligible for independent study, students must satisfy all of the following criteria:

Earn 90% attendance through consistent work completion.
Maintain at least 70% Mastery in all courses. (Actual Grade)
Attend all scheduled weekly parent/student/ed coach meetings and daily morning meetings from 9:30-10:00 AM

With all that said, please focus on ensuring you are totally caught up in all your classes this week so you can earn full attendance!

Coming Up:

Our first "Meet Up" will be held at Riverton Park in Temecula on Tuesday, October 13 from 2-3. We will be playing an organized game of kickball and other outside sports. Snacks will be provided. We will use this meetup to gather student suggestions for our November location. The December meet up will be December 4, at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, where we will be viewing A Christmas Carol.

Students will finish the district i-Ready Inform diagnostics (Math and Reading) during morning meetings next week. All diagnostics must be done by Friday as the testing window will close on October 2.

Please join us for learning centers each Monday and Thursday on campus from 2-3. This week we enjoyed painting on canvas and playing Telestrations. There were lots of laughs! See some of the photos below!
