Happy Sunday Serra High!
We have another amazing week coming up. However, first a message from our counseling office.
SENIOR TRANSCRIPTS AND DIPLOMA NAME VERIFICATION FORM
Attention Seniors: Senior transcripts with class ranking and Name Verification form will be handed out on Wednesday, October 14 from 1pm-4pm. Distribution will be in the front of the main office through a drive thru service (you are not allowed to get off your car). A picture ID will be required in order to be able to pick up your transcript.
ATHLETICS:
Please read to the bottom of the blog as there is important Athletic Information that new this week.
GRADE LEVEL PRESENTATIONS:
We had a great turnout at grade level presentations and we will be posting them to the Counseling webpage as soon as possible in case you missed them.
ABSENCES:
I know this may seem obvious but students can not call themselves out sick; only a parent can. Please call the office or email Sandra Westwood our attendance clerk at swestwood@sandi.net. Again, the parent only can do this. Thank you.
TARDIES:
Last week we had a huge increase in students reporting to class late. Please encourage your child to log on early, 1 minute, if possible as students trying to enter class once instruction has begun is a disruption and teachers at times don't notice someones in the waiting room as they started teaching. We understand certain times can not be helped, but please encourage them to be proactive.
MENTAL HEALTH:
We understand that missing school may be causes some social emotional issues at home. We at Serra have the most successful Wellness Center in the district. We can help! Please reach out to Dani Octon at this link https://sites.google.com/sandi.net/student-wellness-center

WIWMPK
What I Wish My Parents Knew Recap
The first What I Wish My Parent Knew of the school year, Frameworks to Success: Adapting to Distance Learning, was a success! Students facilitated a conversation about what students wish their parents knew about distance learning, the challenges, what they need to be successful, and how their parents/caregivers are supporting them during this time. Subject matter experts from Ashford University and the Military Child Education Coalition shared their wisdom and provided many resources and tools for students and families about organization and social-emotional health. If you missed it, you may watch the videos below for forum highlights and the entire forum. In addition, the links to the PDFs with all the resources provided are below. We hope you can join us for the next What I Wish My Parents Knew forum, Tuesday, November 17th at 5:30 PM. You may register here: https://wiwmpk2020-2021.eventbrite.com/
