Week 32
Our 11th grade students had an eventful week as they completed state testing for the CAASPP and CAST tests. Thank you to our Juniors for showing up ready for “Game Time!” They were focused and working hard to demonstrate their proficiency. A milestone was also reached with our final Community Learning Day of the year this past Friday. We are excited for our Senior prom this week on May 1st, and for Staff Appreciation Week the following week!
Final Community Learning Day Learning Logs: We had the last CLD day this past Friday, April 24th. Please make sure your student completes their learning log for credit! We will be following up on this in Advisory this week.
Prom: Join us for a “Swan Lake Soiree” this Friday, May 1st at Skirball Center 7:00-11:00 pm. All students in attendance must be in good academic standing and maintain positive attendance. Please keep traffic on the 405 in mind for a timely arrival.
