BURRO BROADCAST
News & Information from the Principal 10/4/20
A TIME TO PRACTICE GRATITUDE...
As challenging and as different as it is, I am grateful that our students have the opportunity for face-to-face instruction four days a week. I am grateful that we are also able to provide a fully remote option for students who are unable to attend in person. I am grateful for the positive attitudes that our teachers have demonstrated despite all the additional responsibilities they have taken on. I am grateful for our students, who are showing up everyday and giving it their best effort. I am grateful for parents willing to problem solve instead of complain. I am grateful for recess, cross country, football, cheerleading, free breakfast, Chromebooks, internet access, alarm clocks, hand sanitizer, patience, forgiveness, understanding, and so much more!
I encourage everyone to pause and take time to reflect on the things that are going well. Yes, things may not be perfect, but there are so many small things that can make us smile and help give us strength throughout the day. Be grateful for the small things and keep on smiling South Park!
BURROS OF THE MONTH!
Middle School -
Sophia DeHerrera, 8th grade
"Sophia is more confident in her abilities this year. In Social Studies, Sophia has displayed more of a presence by engaging in classroom discussions, completing all assignments, and acting as a positive role model for the middle school. In Philosophy, Sophia is the most engaged student in the room often aiding in the understanding of the content and asking questions that encourage peer participation." -Mr. Rivas
High School -
Chloe Campbell, Senior
"Chloe is always respectful as she puts up with the senior boys who are goofy, lovable, and silly all at the same time. She exhibits responsibility in her maturity by improving her study habits each year and is resourceful by stepping it up in class, whether it is in person or online." -Mr. Beauvais

Eligibility List
As a reminder regarding student eligibility, the following was taken directly from the Student Handbook:
Students participating in activities (i.e. field trips, athletics, dances) are expected to follow rules, maintain satisfactory academic and attendance records, and maintain a satisfactory conduct and citizenship record. If a student misses school on the day of an athletic event (if it is on a school day), or on the day prior to an event, he/she cannot participate in the event.
A student who misses school will not be admitted to athletic practice that afternoon unless the absence is prearranged. Extenuating circumstances may be reason for the administration to make exceptions to this absenteeism clause.
Grades will be calculated cumulatively on a weekly basis. Students are responsible for turning in work in a timely manner in order for teachers to be able to grade and record. A warning list is determined on Thursday at 2 PM. Students have the opportunity to resolve issues with their grades by Monday morning. The eligibility list for the week is determined on Tuesdays at 2 PM.
Please help your student stay eligible for school events by supporting their academics. You have the ability to check your student's grades through ALMA. If you are not familiar with how to do this, please contact the school office.
