Happy Friday Night Serra High!
We had another great quarter progress report period end and our students finished strong. Grades will be available for viewing by Friday next week. In addition conditioning started for some sports and appointment based services for those that qualified start this upcoming week. Lastly, we want to congratulate Mai Hoang who received a full-ride scholarship to Stanford! If you child is being awarded scholarships like this, please reach out to your counselor and let them know so we can celebrate! Congrats Mai! Also for a list of scholarships look in the Counseling Newsletter below or the SHS website under Counseling.

Cal-Soap (https://www.calsoapsandiego.org/) is an organization we partner with each year to support students with college applications and completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
This year they will be providing their services by meeting with Class of 2021 students individually over zoom to assist them with completing their FAFSA. If you would like your student to meet with a Cal-Soap rep to complete their FAFSA please submit Cal-Soaps application here: https://ucsd.mylacai.com/apply.php
We highly recommend every student take advantage of this opportunity
Hello Class of 2022,
Here are some promising news regarding PSAT. Our District has committed to order an exam for all Class of 2022 students, in hopes that we will be able to host the exam on January 26 and allow our students to have an opportunity for the NMSQT Scholarship. If we are still closed by the exam date, all tests will be returned and students will still have an alternate opportunity for the NMSQT Scholarship. In order to plan effectively, we are asking ALL of our Class of 2022 students to take this survey and let us know if they are interested in taking the exam. If students don’t respond to the survey, it may be difficult to have space for them to test. We have attached a letter from the district office addressing more detailed information for your convenience.
