We have officially wrapped up our first month of school, and it was a fantastic start! Thank you to all of our students, staff, and parents who have made the beginning of the year such a success.
With our recent grading period now closed, students who currently have a D or an F in any class will be bringing a progress report home. Please keep an eye out for these, and remember to check Infinite Campus regularly to stay updated on your student’s progress.
As a quick reminder, our after-school programs are back in full swing! If your student needs extra academic support, our intervention and tutoring programs are great places to start. We also offer a wide variety of fun activities through our after-school clubs and enrichment programs.
We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful three-day weekend!
Mark your calendars, Rattler-Families! 🗓️ Picture Day is Thursday, September 3rd! 🎉
Picture packets have already been sent home with students. If you need an additional picture packet, no problem! 😊 Extra packets are available in the front office.
We can’t wait to capture those smiles! 📷✨

Can you believe we’ve already been in school for a full month? Time is flying by, which means our first progress report is right around the corner. Progress 1 ends this coming Friday. If your student currently has a D or F, a physical report card will be sent home with them. In the meantime, we strongly encourage you to check Infinite Campus regularly so you always know where your student stands.
On another note, our athletics programs are in full swing! Cross Country had a stellar performance at their meet in Big Bear last week, with the majority of our runners placing in the top 20 out of more than 50 athletes.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to support our students' academic and athletic growth. Have a wonderful week!
