The Break Room
Thank you to all of our families and community members who have generously donated to allow us to create our wellness center, The Break Room. In particular, the District and the WiSH Foundation have helped us to create a comfortable and inviting setting for our students.
The creation of the center is still in progress. Here is a link to our Amazon Wish List, if you would like to help support our endeavor: https://tinyurl.com/secobreakroom
Please save the date for The Break Room Open House and Wellness Expo on February 27, 2020 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. More details will be sent out soon!
Thank you again for your support. Seco Stands with Saugus!
CA Census 2020
"The new year brings with it many new laws and changes, but the William S. Hart Union High School District wants you to know that 2020 also brings the US Census, a vitally important national effort that will determine federal support for public education in the coming decade."
For more information about the Census, please see the following article which is posted on the district's website. You will also find links to a number of videos from 2020Census.gov.
Career Panel Volunteers
Thank you to all of our Career Panel Volunteers. Given the multiple days that we did not have school last semester, we have rearranged some of our panels and opportunities to volunteer. Please see the form below to reassess your availability, and let us know if and when you are able to assist us.

We greatly appreciate your time, and willingness to help our students develop in the area of College and Career!
CAASPP Testing
Arroyo Seco’s state CAASPP testing window is April 27 through May 15. Testing will occur in students’ English, Math, History and Science classes. For your convenience and planning purposes, we have attached the testing schedule. We will be testing in small chunks over several days to help ease test anxiety and fatigue. Please plan accordingly and avoid scheduling medical appointments, etc., during this time to help us ensure full participation.
If you would like to see what kinds of questions your child will be asked to do, or would like to help them prepare, please take some time to preview the CAASPP Practice Test: https://login1.cloud1.tds.airast.org/student/V384/Pages/LoginShell.aspx?c=California_PT You do not need to enter any login information – just sign in as a guest. On the second screen, you will only need to select the grade level.
Because the tests are online, we encourage students to take time building their typing skills. Click on this link for a website that is both fun and educational: https://www.typingclub.com/
We will send additional reminders as we get closer to the start of testing.
