Hello Conquistador Nation!

We had a turkey hangover type of week. Very quiet around SHS. However we are in preparation for the mass amount of events before the Christmas break. Here is the link from todays Principals Coffee https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fQ-Su151OToLkZKPfX1OTOw05qWBC_vnt_FJQfzUf30/edit?usp=sharing

December's Coffee is cancelled: Happy Holiday! Also please if you haven't get involved in our Foundation and PTO. They play very important roles on campus:

Friday Dec 6- Saturday December 7: Fly by Night


School play: “Fly by Night” December 6-8 at 7 pm in Theater and Dec 13-15: COME!!!!!!

In this darkly comic rock-fable, a melancholy sandwich maker's humdrum life is intersected by two entrancing sisters. A sweeping ode to young love set against the backdrop of the northeast blackout of 1965, Fly By Night is a tale about making your way and discovering hope in a world beset by darkness.

California Scholarship Federation (CSF) Meeting:

WHAT IS CSF? DOES MY STUDENT QUALIFY? WHAT IS THIS MEETING?


Mrs. Spears will have blank applications, scholarship information, and discuss procedures for the Spring. See you then.


AND NOW YOU KNOW!


Instruction Spotlight!:

Learning Walks: Did you know that SHS started doing Learning Walks?

What are they you ask? They are once a month and teachers volunteer to open their classroom to other teachers to sign up and come in and watch. The idea is to not work in silos and also to take one practice they saw and try it on.

The next Learning Walk is scheduled for TUESDAY, 12/4/2018--- WE HAVE FIVE VOLUNTEERS for next Tuesday as of today--thank you Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Spears, Mr. Turner, Mr. Babcock, and Mrs. Garnier!  This is a HUGE step for SHS teachers. They are amazing!


Athletics: WINTER SPORTS ARE HERE! CHECK MAX PREPS!

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. An 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

Financial Aid Night - rescheduled for December 12, 2018 6:00 - 7:30 pm

Booster Information--Class of 2019: At our recent meeting we talked about how we can support one another, making the Class of 2019's last year at Serra the best year. We decided to divide and conquer with SHS footing the bill for Graduation at USD and Boosters supporting events along the way including GRAD Night. We are so grateful to the Boosters. Please participate in their latest fundraiser:
