As a Title I school, we are required to publish a PARTNERS COMPACT and a PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT POLICY and share it with all of our stakeholders for review and input. Please take a moment to read through both documents and if you have feedback, please give it to your Department Chair for our next meeting. These follow the template from the federal regulations. We welcome your additions or possible edits. Thank you.

Dear Wolf Pack Staff,

Thank you all for your participation in the PSAT.  A big “Shout Out” to the proctors who spent additional time with students, reading PSAT materials, creating lesson plans and having a wonderful attitude through the process. A total of 427 students took the PSAT while 10 substitute teachers proctored tests, covered proctor’s prep periods or taught our non-10th grade students. If your classroom was used during this process, your contribution was appreciated.  

Overall, the feedback we have received from staff and students has been positive.  Please keep a lookout for a “PSAT Feedback Survey” which should be sent to your inbox soon.  Your feedback is very important as we will discuss the responses during our Department Chair meetings and the survey data will be used as part of our WASC data.

Thank you for your teamwork!

Student Clubs on Campus: Check out the list...THANK YOU to all FACULTY and STAFF who sponsor a club. Please make sure you are telling students that they have to have an approved CHARTER with ASB in order to do ANY FUNDRAISING and ALL FUNDS raised, whether on campus or off, have to have PRIOR APPROVAL and HAVE to be deposited in the Club account in our own FINANCE office. This year's funds are meant for this year's students too. Any advertising on campus must use BLUE PAINTER'S TAPE so we don't leave a mess on our windows and buildings as well.

Literacy Design Collaborative is a robust and FREE site for teachers completely aligned to the CCSS for literacy. They have new tools to create RUBRICS for your designed CCSS aligned tasks in many subject areas.  Take a read here on how easy these are to create and use for YOUR specific tasks. 


Our show dates are Nov. 4th, 10th, 12th @7pm and Nov. 5th @2pm.  November 12 matinee is our "Pay What You Can" for 18 and under and then we have a 20 minute talk-back after the show with the actors and crew onstage. Zombie Prom is an upbeat musical that is a spoof of 1950's musicals. It is a great show for the entire family! We hope you can join us for some great singing, acting and Zombie shenanigans!!



"Save the Date"...Monday, October 31 join us in the Faculty Lounge for a fabulous lunch and birthday wishes for all the October birthday folks!  Detour through the Pit first to hear and see our TERRIFIC Choir and Black and Blue Brigade perform a unique Halloween themed music EXTRAVAGANZA!
