Important Questions
What do the different grades mean?
- Quarter Course – This is your Q2 scholarship grade.
- Quarter Citizenship – This is your Q2 citizenship grade.
If a student received an “I” grade, this means they did not complete the class. The percentage next to the “I” grade is how much of the class they completed.
Mental Health Resources for the Holidays
The winter holiday season can be a festive, joyful time, but holidays can also bring up big feelings for adults and young people alike. For young people, the changes in routine, new people, and different foods can be stressful. For adults, there are financial worries, family conflicts, work and life burnout, dealing with crowded stores and shortages, and preconceived ideas of what the holidays should be like.
SDCOE’s Student Wellness and School Culture team suggests these ways to help someone who may be struggling this holiday season:
- Remain present for them at each stage and allow them to tell you where they are and what they need
- Acknowledge emotions without judgment
- Remind them it is OK to feel sad and show grief
- Encourage them to take care of their body’s core needs, such as drinking water, eating, and sleeping
- Check in regularly and over time
- Model and encourage healthy routines and creative outlets
If you or someone you know are experiencing distress, the San Diego Crisis Line is 1-888-724-7240 or text HELLO to 741741. If you are in need of resources not related to school, please dial 2-1-1 or search our Resource Guide: bit.ly/SUHSDResources.
