Hello Rattler Nation!
We were very busy this week as we headed into Homecoming tonight and tomorrow.
We had Middle School Sports Night at the game last Friday, and it was a packed house. Amazing to see all the MS kids out there so excited! Great way to start our weekend. It was also "wear pink" at the game for breast cancer. This week for Homecoming, it's NEON! We hope to see you there, and details are below. Progress Report 1 has ended and grades will post next week. Reminder: This upcoming Friday, October 21st, 2022, is a minimal day, with dismissal at 1:30 PM! and CA Shakeout is October, 20th, 2022.
Rattlers Doing Great Things!
Last weekend there was a college fair for first Generation students interested in college. Yahir Salas and William Nguyen were pivotal in making this happen for students all over the district!. Over 350 students attended from all the schools in San Diego Unified.
22 colleges from around the country

ROTC
We were busy in the community with ROTC at Oktoberfest. They were supporting the community by serving food and doing other tasks. If you have any ideas for them and how they can give back, please let us know!
Indigenous People's Day:
We started on Monday with Indigenous Peoples Day, and we had the tribal communities come and do a land acknowledgment, speak and perform for classes that volunteered. We were featured in the Union-Tribune and KPBS. The picture is above. The students had a ton of positive feedback on it, and we look forward to more partnerships.
CHHS vs. Mission Bay at CHHS: HOMECOMING!
DANCE: 7 PM -10 PM! STUDENTS CAN NOT LEAVE ONCE THEY ENTER UNTIL THE END OF THE DANCE
Saturday School--
Many students need it and were disappointed when they could not buy a dance ticket. For all dances, you need a 2.0 in academics and citizenship and also clear attendance and tardies. Saturday School is how you make up work and clear those tardies!
Here is the signup information:
Drop-Off and Pick-up: We need your help!
We are having issues with Drop Off and Pick-up. Parents stop right in front of the cones in the front of the school, and that then causes a traffic jam in the intersection. All Drop-Off and Pick-Up are either in the student lot to the south OR in front of the 1000 building. Please, if you are pulling into the school in front, you drive down the road in front of the 1000 Building and not stop in front of the school. Also, you can drive down and turn around in the parking lot and drive back down the road if you need to go North.
Yesterday and the day before, I have been out there asking parents to move up and met with combative parents. Your students walk to and from class all day. They can walk in front of the 1000 building to be picked up. It's right to the left of the office.
Thank you for your help.
