Grizzly Community Update
Friday, September 23, 2022
This week we had three important events on campus. It was Hello Week. Hello Week celebrates the importance of trusted adults and Upstanders in our community.
Our teacher librarians led us through Banned Book Week, which is celebrated nationwide in September.
We also began celebrating National Latin Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) by highlighting the diversity of Hispanic and Latina/e/o/x experiences and cultures in America.
Thursday I met with members of the City of San Ramon to review their recommendations from our traffic pattern evaluation a couple of weeks ago. They made four recommendations to help us relieve some of our traffic congestion challenges, including opening up the horseshoe in front of the admin building and having students utilize more of the crosswalks on Broadmoor, among a few more things. We will begin providing more details once we put some visuals together. We anticipate implementing those recommendations on Monday, October 3.
Last night we conducted our second town hall meeting of the school year via Zoom. Please see the recording below. I hope you will be able to join us for our next on Thursday, October 22, 6-7 pm on Zoom as well. (https://srvusd-net.zoom.us/j/89719745533, Meeting ID: 897 1974 5533)
Our community survey is still open. As of today, we have 71 responses and it is great to learn about the variety of experiences from the California High School community. Our admin team is in the process of reviewing the data to help us determine how we make our community vision become a reality. Thank you to the families that have done so already.
Next week is a short week as students have both Monday and Tuesday off. Please have a safe and enjoyable long weekend. We'll see students back on campus on Wednesday, September 28!
Respectfully,
Mr. Ball
