Fall is in the Air!

Parents-- We had an amazing turnout for "What I Wish My Parents Knew" a forum on important topics pertaining to teenagers during these very important years. We also were hosted by the Tierrasanta Kiwanis at a dinner where they donated monies to the school! We are so grateful. Girl Field Hockey made the news: Check out this amazing segment on our Field Hockey Team. https://www.kusi.com/record-setting-serra-field-hockey-team-goes-for-win-number-90/

Also Patrick Callahan, a leading expert on Mathematics came to Serra to look at Math Instruction. He is visiting all the schools in Unified and was happy with what he was seeing and where the vision is for Math at Serra. We were beyond honored to get his take on next steps for our Math Dept.

Counseling:

Did you know we have a new Counseling website we are working on. But in the meantime, here are important dates for counseling:

1. October 15-26th: At-Risk Meetings: Students in ALL grades who are "At-Risk" will be meeting with their counselor and Vice Principals; Parents are invited to attend.

2. Here and Now: Here and Now is a Suicide Prevention Program aimed at helping students identify not only if they are struggling, but if others they know are and what to do in order to either get help or seek it for another. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem (one that may last years but not a lifetime) Students can be impulsive when in an emotional state. Permission slips went home in Govt. classes. Please when your students are going through this program you open yourself up to dialog about the issue in your homes. We as a school are here to support you!

3. "Class Of" Nights: Coming in October! While we don't say mandatory meeting please do everything in your power to come. Very important information is shared here that pertains directly to your child.October 8, 2018- Class of 2019 Night--Everything you need to know for the year!!!!October 9, 2018- Class of 2020 NightOctober 10, 2018- Class of 2021 NightOctober 11, 2018-Class of 2022 Night All nights start at 6:00 pm in the Media Center and your child's Dean and VP will be present.

ROTC:

ROTC went to the Miramar Air Show! What a great time!


Athletics:

A great way to spend your evenings is with SHS Athletics and our amazing events. There are so many that we have our own website devoted to just this topic. Please reference this link which can also be found on our webpage.http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/serra-conquistadors-(san-diego,ca)/calendar.htm

Reminder: Athletics is a privilege not a right. Athletes first step if they are acting in a manner unbecoming of Serra is that Athletics is taken away for the season!A sports physical dated after June 4, 2018 must also be turned into the front office with the confirmation form from the website. To get cleared for athletics go to www.athleticclearance.com

A NEW SECTION DEVOTED TO STILL RELEVANT BUT ALREADY MENTIONED NEWS!!

1. Construction Update: Check this out! Bungalows Should be removed next week!https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r5j26KaaO-UmTCAuC60owGvNqMUwsXyq/view?usp=sharing

2. We have a huge increase in students parking in the staff lot. We are now going to place security at the ramp into the lot. Why this tactic? The lunch ladies have no place to park!!!!! How sad is that! Plus its rule...:) There are more than enough spots in the students lot as we went out everyday and collected data. I know they don't want to walk but our staff needs access to buildings and currently cant get to them.
