Happy Saturday Serra High!
This past week we had many meetings about a variety of topics; meetings around reopening, purple tier, athletics, and students being successful or struggling (aren't we ALL struggling right now?) and how we as principals can support all of these areas. I will keep the blog short and to the point. There are new things especially around Athletics! Please read all of the blog. There will be a blog this Friday as we may have some school updates by then, and we will go through the week we return to school, so you are in the know.
