• Students returning to site can check their classrooms on Infinite Campus to ensure they know where to go
• Students returning to site should bring their district issued Chromebook fully charged – you can also bring your charging cable, however, our classrooms have limited electrical outlets and may not be able to provide a charging location
• If you are returning to site and do not have a district Chromebook, we will be able to issue you a Chromebook depending on availability – currently we have a small stock and are awaiting an additional shipment.

Students – please remember to wear a mask at all times while on campus – you can ask your teachers for mask breaks – these will take place outside, socially distanced from other students and staff members. All students will use the main entrance for check – in and health screening each morning

This includes students participating in athletics, students will not be allowed to remain on campus until their practice begins

Grab and Go lunch service will be available to all students each day – the pick up location will be at the snack bar area of the cafeteria. We are excited to have students back on campus!  Students who have chosen to remain in distance learning can still request to join a cohort – please contact me via email at john-mcmeekin@scusd.edu to make arrangements.

Mental Health Corner

AP exams are rapidly approaching and the preparation for them may seem daunting to say the least; I too have fallen into the desperate test-prep mindset recently. Despite the weight of what can be perceived as your college future on your shoulders, it is important to remember that the tests do not define you and that your well being is always more important than your score. Partaking in the hobbies you enjoy, drinking some water, and saying hi to your friends are some of the simplest reliefs from your studies and you deserve all of them. Good luck everyone!- James Doolittle C/O 2022

ASB Elections and Results
