The National Weather Service is issuing a tropical storm warning for Hurricane Hilary between Saturday and Monday that could affect areas in Southern California, including Los Angeles County. What remains of this storm system is expected to arrive in Southern California over late Sunday and early Monday. Safety will continue to be our top priority as we monitor this weekend’s weather. We encourage you to prepare and recommend the following resources:

• National Hurricane Center - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
• National Weather Service - NWS Forecast Office Los Angeles, CA

As we are experiencing hot and humid weather, we wanted to share how we handle excessive heat for our students involved in extracurricular outdoor activities. Our athletic trainer continuously monitors the weather with a wet bulb globe temperature thermometer.

Let’s take preventative measures and let’s keep reminding our students of the importance of nutrition and hydration (water + electrolytes) on a daily basis as we tackle these hot days!

Programs offered are educational opportunities such as Round Table Math Legacy - a program that meets every Saturday from 9 a.m.-12 noon from September to May to tutor students and encourage them to love math and potentially reach Calculus by high school graduation while also teaching them about successful and inspirational black leaders.

Other programs, such as the Junior-Senior Workshop, help prepare for their college applications, PIQ essays, tour campuses and meet leaders at various colleges within and outside of California. They have reading and public speaking programs as well. Learn more by clicking below!

Due to the upcoming storm (Hurricane Hilary), the Council of African American Parents open house is rescheduled for August 27.

Due to many problems and safety issues we DO NOT allow student lunches to be delivered anywhere on campus.

Food, drinks or other items are NOT to be passed to students through the fence. This is strictly prohibited.

Outside Food Delivery Services such as UBER Eats/Door Dash is strictly prohibited. Food will be confiscated if deliveries are dropped off.

We understand the importance of student nutrition but we encourage students to either use the free lunch at school or bring their lunch from home.

Parents: One thing you will notice this year are tardy or cell phone detention automated emails. If your child was issued a detention for excessive tardies or a cell phone violation, you will get an email with information on the detention they need to serve.

Please remember that attendance counts, every period, every day. Students will be marked absent if they are not at the beginning of each period to verify their attendance.

All single-period absences will need to be reconciled through the attendance office by the student. If marked absent, students will receive an email from the attendance office notifying them that they have been marked absent. The notification will include the date and period of the absence. The student will need to contact the Attendance Department to make any necessary corrections to their individual period attendance. For full-day absences, a parent/guardian must contact the attendance office by the end of the day.

Attendance Reporting Hotline:

11 & 12 Grades: 909- 444-3642

9 & 10 Grades : 909 - 444-3625
