Update #9: 11.24.14
Hello, families!
Successful food drive
Thanks for all the donations to the Second Harvest Food Bank! See the photo at the bottom for all the food brought in as of Monday morning.
Giving thanks
Short, two day week this week! We are off on Wednesday, 11/26 for a college staff development day, so no college or MC classes that day, and then closed on 11/27-28 for Thanksgiving.
District surveys
As you may know, the SUHSD is working on information gathering for a Strategic Plan. The surveys will close on Monday night, 12/1, so please click the appropriate link below and complete the survey, if you haven't already done so.

Three more weeks!
When we return from the Thanksgiving break, we will have two weeks of instruction remaining! Classes will meet as regularly scheduled the weeks of December 1st and 8th. Starting on December 15th, college classes will only meet for their final. See the schedule posted below. Middle College classes will meet Mon-Thurs that week on a modified schedule -- also noted below. There are college finals on Fri 12/19 and make up finals for MC, as needed. The semester ends on Dec.19. High school grades will be posted on Infinite Campus; college grades will be posted on WebSmart on 12/31.
Books
All rented textbooks must be returned to the bookstore by noon on 12/19. Look for a reminder from Chris on textbook returns.
2015!
The Middle College office will be closed from 12/19-1/4 -- Chris will be back in the office on 1/5.
MC classes will resume on 1/12. Our classes will meet from 10:30-1:00 on 1/12-21. Monday 1/19 is a holiday. College classes start on 1/22 and MC classes will revert to their normal time of 12:30-3:10. Please note: regular curriculum instruction will begin on 1/12 -- there will not be orientation activities.
Schedule changes
Students who earn a D or F in a college class must repeat that class if they continue in MC -- I will make schedule changes as soon as I can if needed, and let you know that I am making schedule changes.
