Hello everyone and welcome to week 2 of the spring semester.

VP Asahi and I met with counselors last week to go over students who have failed multiple courses and are in danger of failing the year or who may not graduate in May.  We will be calling in students and parents to have individual meetings over the next few weeks to encourage a renewed sense of urgency in completing work and taking school seriously.  For some students and families, we may have to begin conversations about alternative ways to continue their education.  This is a grave concern of mine as we do not offer credit recovery courses anymore during the school day; students who fail a course need to make up the credit on their own time through e2020.  If your son or daughter did not pass all of his or her classes in first semester, be sure to remind him/her of this reality and speak to their counselor too in case a schedule change needs to be made.  Most of all, please encourage your student to not give up and persist in giving his/her best effort every day, in every class, with every teacher.

Also, please take a few minutes to read the handout from Superintendent Matayoshi that was sent home with each student on Friday.  It contains some very important information about the upcoming new SBAC test juniors will be taking in April.

Finally, please be sure to scroll through the calendar in the right hand column of my blog…. You will find upcoming school events that you can add to your personal or family calendar.

Have a great week everyone; here’s your announcements.
