Mr. Mayen's Message
📢 Welcome Back, Saints Community! 💙💛
We hope everyone had a restful and rejuvenating Spring Break! As we step into April, we’re excited to continue our journey of learning, growing, and supporting one another. This month brings a number of meaningful observances that reflect our values and commitment to excellence, compassion, and awareness.
📅 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.
✅ Spring Sports Are in Full Swing! 🏀🎾🥎🏐⛳⚾🏊
Let’s show our support for our Saints competing on the courts, pool, courses and fields!
🔥 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.
🙌 THANK YOU, Saints Community! 🙌
🚨👩🏫 A huge THANK YOU to all the families who completed the California School Parent Survey (CSPS) for the 2024-25 school year! Your feedback helps shape our goals and drive improvements for our students. Your voice matters, and we appreciate you taking the time to help us grow. 💙💛
