A Note From the Principal
Our Meaningful Mondays team has been putting great lessons and tips together for students during the advisory period on Mondays. Students have learned how to write and follow-up on Smart Goals, how to compose appropriate emails, how to use Infinite Campus to keep track of grades and work, and most recently about Positive Self Talk and using Positive Affirmations. Ask your student what their take away has been from some of these short "Meaningful" lessons.
Congratulations to PURPLE House who won the House Championship for Quarter 1 and had a mini celebration during advisory this past Tuesday. Points reset and any house can win moving forward each quarter. Students earn points across campus for doing great deeds on campus, both in and out of class, by following our S.O.A.R. principles and through participation in House competitions and spirit!
Next week the City of Santa Clarita's DFY SCV will be presenting to all PE classes about the dangers of drugs. See more information below.
Parents if you have a high achiever, be sure to check out the information below about National Junior Honor Society and the deadline to apply.
If your student plans to dress up for Halloween, please see the guidelines for costumes below to help ensure costumes are school-appropriate. Please keep expensive props at home and ensure students know if they take those items to school, it is at their own risk if lost or damaged.
Finally, 8th graders it's time for the annual Turkey Bowl - an 8th grade sporting event the day before Thanksgiving Break (Friday, November 18th). Tryouts for Football and Cheer begin next week on Monday 10/17. Details are announced through PE classes, so tell your student to see their PE teacher for more information.
We hope you have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bennett
