Titan Times
Eastlake High School 3.9.20
Greetings from Eastlake High School
Typically, I send out a Titan Times every other week. Due to the lockdown this past week, I thought it was important to check in with our community. I have sent out a letter via Jupiter Grades regarding the lockdown and lessons learned. I invite you to Coffee with the Principal this week to continue the dialogue. We are partners in the education and safety of your child. Your input matters. I have included the letter below.
We had another successful Winter sports season with many of our teams qualifying for the CIF playoffs and going deep into championship rounds. Our Robotics and Color Guard programs are beginning competition as well. Our Art students were celebrated this past week at the district event for their amazing artistic abilities. We also recognized our students with perfect attendance. We have so many talented and amazing students.
We are honoring a new set of Titan Way Winners this week. We will give an update in the next Titan Times. I hope your child is honored for exhibiting the Titan Way!
As always, there is a lot happening at our school. Keep informed with the WAAG link and follow up with your counselors and teachers! Stay connected and let me know how I can be of service. Don't forget to set your clocks one hour ahead!
Here are some big picture items for your consideration:
A. Weight Room Renovation. We are looking to modernize our facility. If you have a keen interest in promoting physical education and a state of the art weight facility for our athletic programs, please consider being a part of our fundraising efforts to make this happen. We will start initial conversations at Coffee with the Principal. I have included a rendering below as well. .
B. Coffee with the Principal. I hope to see you this Wednesday at 8:15 in the cafeteria.. We will have our first discussion of the Eastlake Education Foundation (Titan Foundation and Alumni Association) and our plan for supporting academics, athletics and the arts. We will also the police department here to discuss the lockdown. I hope you will join us. We will have Mr. Delacazada join us in the near future to discuss technology and privacy rights.
C. Attendance. It is critical that students and parents understand that all absences must be cleared in a timely fashion. Please speak with Mrs. Stroberg if you require additional information. Students who have excess absences may be placed on an attendance contract and placed on a non-privilege list.
D. Titan Showcase. On March 19th, Eastlake High School will open its doors to a great event highlighting many of the classroom projects and college/career connections happening across the school. It will also be a fun community event. Please be on the lookout for additional information coming your way soon.
F. Principal's Honor Roll. Students have been aware of the Honor Roll requirements for sometime now. We have also spoken with the Seniors. To graduate in white, they must be on track at this point. Unfortunately, there will be no appeals if you do not meet the requirements. We understand the frustration, but please know that we are trying to be fair. Please contact me if you have any questions.
G. NMSI! if your student is taking certain AP classes, please make sure you check in about services for support offered by NMSI. Here is the link from our website. Please contact Mrs. Bielma with any questions.
H. Office Hours. In order to better serve you, I am going to honor my time with individuals with more organized meeting times. I have kept an open door policy, but have found that parents and community members are not always served to the best of my ability due to my busy schedule. My administrative assistant has blocked out 8:00 - 10:00 AM Monday through Thursday for individual 20-30 minute meetings. I can also be found before school starting at 7:30 for a quick meeting. Of course, emergencies and other issues can dictate for other meeting times. I will do my best to accommodate you. Ms. Campos can be reached at karina.campos@sweetwaterschools.org or 619-397-3815.
Thank you for your support of all things Eastlake High School. If you have a moment, take the time to recognize our staff below! As always, Go Titans!
In Service,
Ricardo Cooke, Ed.D.
