The Friday FINALE!
THE WEEK OF June 3-7, 2019
CLASS OF 2019 STUDENTS GO BACK AND VISIT THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
On Thursday, our Class of 2019 students went back to visit their former elementary school!
Clad in their graduation caps and gowns, these seniors walked through the elementary school hallways, each lined with younger kids from every other grade.
The other children cheered on the graduating seniors with smiles and high fives, completely in awe of these awesome older kids and their amazing achievements.
Walking back through these halls was a richly symbolic way to celebrate just how far all of these Sharks have come in life thus far. With each step, they reflected on the beautiful lessons learned, hugged their former teachers, and now look forward to their future of endless possibilities.
At Santiago High School, it was an opportunity for seniors to both celebrate their achievements and inspire younger students to follow in their footsteps!

BE A SHARK PARENT SURVEY RESULTS
Thank you to the nearly 400 parents who completed our 1st semester BE A SHARK survey in December. We are using the results of the parent, staff, and student surveys to guide us as we continue to work to shape the positive culture here at Santiago.
Be on the lookout for another end of semester survey in May!
As always, feel free to contact the BE A SHARK team at SHSBeAShark@cnusd.k12.ca.us
BE A SHARK: REWARD YOUR CHILD!
We are rewarding positive BE A SHARK behaviors - be sure to look for these same qualities from your students at home and let your student know you appreciate it when they:
S - Show Responsibility
H - Have Integrity
A - Achieve
R - Respect
K - Know yourself
At the end of the first quarter, over 3500 students have received Shark Bytes for displaying BE A SHARK behaviors. Shark Bytes were redeemed at the Shark Shop this week for free ice cream, a free tardy pass, a Shark lanyard, and even a free PROM ticket. Everyday, everywhere, we want students to continue to act out the BE A SHARK values. Continue to show up on time to class and be prepared to work - that's just one behavior that we expect from all Sharks. Keep it up!
