Seco Scoop
Arroyo Seco Jr. High School -- April 24, 2020
Principal's Message
Hello Seco Families,
Today is the last day of the 4th quarter progress reporting period. Grades will be available on Infinite Campus on Tuesday the 28th. In order to view your child's grades, you must have an Infinite Campus account set up. Keep in mind that these are progress report grades and not final grades; assignments marked "missing" help you and your child know what work they still need to turn in. The district has had ongoing discussions about a temporary grading policy during this unique and challenging time. More information will be shared about this in the near future.
The physical school buildings remain closed and we are continuing to clarify processes regarding awards, PE locker clean out, textbook return, and yearbook distribution, among others. We will share more information as we are able.
See below for information about summer school and links to the applications.
We miss our students and wish you and your families all the best. Stay safe and healthy and have a great weekend!

Weekly Wellness
The Henry Mayo Community Education program has decided to provide some educational classes for students, staff and parents via Zoom. They will be recording the 30 minute education sessions for anyone to join live. There is a max amount of participants, so they will record each class and make it available for anyone who was unable to attend the live recording. You may be asked to provide your first name, email (students should use school accounts) and the school you attend. You will be able to find those links on the Arroyo Seco Break Room page once they are made available. Below are the registration links for the classes:

Academic Integrity and Responsible Use of Technology
Please keep in mind that academic integrity during this time will continue to be enforced. See the Hart District Board regulations for more information: http://www.gamutonline.net/district/whart/DisplayPolicy/639044/
Please review this policy with your children and help oversee the work they are completing.
As students spend more time in online learning, we encourage you to talk with your child about responsible and appropriate use of technology. We also encourage all parents to closely monitor their child's social media platforms.
