It has been a very successful beginning to the 2015-2016 school year. Students
have been doing a great job of hustling to class, being prepared and being
respectful. I spoke to them during the Welcome Back Assembly about sustaining
their efforts by getting good sleep, eating healthy (lay off the chips and Monster
drinks) and drinking water. If they can take care of their bodies and stay
organizedthere is no reason why they cannot sustain their efforts in school all
the way through to semester and beyond!
9/21 to 9/25 Homecoming Week
Familieswe need a little help when it comes to dress code. Every year we see
new fashions and trends. This year for some reason midriffs are back for the girls
and sagging pants for the boys. Please emphasize to your kids that this is not
appropriate attire. We want to ready our students for successful careers and part
of being successful is making good decisions when it comes to dress. Thank you
for your help as always.
6pm
Parent Night is September 9th beginning in the main gym at 7pm. We will have a
few important announcements then you will navigate through your students
schedule hearing from each teacher for about 8 minutes. Parent Night is a time to
meet the teachers only. Please schedule parent conferences for another time.
We will have the newly renovated College and Career Center open that night
where we will have staff available to help you with Infinite Campus. We will have
bilingual staff present also. Make sure your student brings home their schedule
for you so you know where to go that evening. We hope you all can make it!

Encourage your students to attend the Club Drive 9/9 at lunch in the back quad
also. Students who are involved in extra-curricular activities tend to do better in
school and being involved in diverse clubs, organizations and sports looks better
on college transcripts.
