Seco Scoop
Arroyo Seco Jr. High School -- May 29, 2020
Principal's Message
Hello Seco Families,
The end of the school year is here! June 4 is officially the last day of school.
Delivery of yearbooks has been delayed due to the current pandemic. We will distribute them at a later time, to be determined once we receive them. This distribution may occur during the summer or at the start of next school year.
If you purchased a ticket for our last dance, which was canceled, you should have received an email -- please respond to the email as soon as possible.
See below for information about summer school and links to the applications.
We are not sure at this time what summer check in or next school year will look like. We and/or the district will reach out as we have more information. As we continue with the planning process, please watch for surveys from the district seeking your input. We value your opinions.
Thank you for all of your support, especially during this extremely challenging year. We made it through. I am confident that, together, we can face any additional challenges that come our way. We miss all of you and hope you are well. Have a great weekend and a fantastic summer.
Online Registration (OLR)
The district's Online Registration (OLR) window for the 2020-2021 school year is now open! This process helps provide needed information and reduces the amount of paperwork needed. Please note: this process must be completed before students can participate in the summer check in in August.
Please refer to the letter below (also sent previously by email) for detailed instructions.
If you have not yet created an Infinite Campus account, you must do so before you can complete the OLR process (the letter outlines how to do this).
Incoming 7th grade families, this is the next step in the registration process (you should have already completed online enrollment; online registration now needs to be done).
If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact our Registrar, Joy Williams, at jewilliams@hartdistrict.org
Thank you for your prompt attention to this!
