Mr. Mayen's Message
💙💛 May is Here, Saints! 💛💙
As we begin the first full two weeks of May, we are filled with gratitude, excitement, and anticipation. From celebrating the heart of our school—our teachers—to key academic milestones like CAASPP and AP Testing, there’s a lot happening at San Dimas High School!
🎉 ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! – Today, May 5th
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla and celebrates Mexican culture, pride, and resilience.
Let’s honor this day by embracing the diversity that makes our community so vibrant! 🇲🇽🎊💃
🔥 Important Safety Reminders! 🚨🚗
🚦 Student Drop-Off Safety: Parents/Guardians, for the safety of our students and staff, please DO NOT use the staff or student parking lots for drop-offs. 🚗❌ We appreciate your continued cooperation in keeping traffic flow safe and efficient. We have begun updating our signage around our parking lots to serve as reminders for our community. 🙏💙
🅿️ Student Parking Lot Random Checks: Students parking in the lot without a valid permit will be subject to progressive school discipline. 🚙❌ We continue to receive reports from students who have paid for parking but struggle to find spaces. If you do not have a permit, please make alternative arrangements.
📅 Important Reminders:
🏆 Supporting a Positive Game Day Environment: Thank you to our parents, guardians, and community members for continuing to foster a respectful and positive atmosphere at our athletic events.
We have begun enhancing our announcements and signage to reinforce that Saints Value Everyone while on our campus. 💙💛We continue to ask for everyone's help by refraining from directing any comments towards our umpires and officials as this will not be tolerated.
